I would recommend that applicants take time to understand the details of the role they’re applying for and be completely honest during the interview. The interviewers at Arm don’t expect you to know everything. They’re more interested in your problem-solving approach and how you think through unfamiliar challenges. Showing curiosity and clear reasoning goes a long way.
