I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Arm (Mountain View, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I was interviewed by the design lead of the company. He asked me a few behavioral questions and viewed one of my recent projects. He answered a few of my questions. This design lead is particularly respectful and bright to people. He has the patience to mentor young designers. Although I did not get the offer, the interview process was joyful, and I learnt a lot from his mentorship.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
As a new grad just out of school, how do you want to design your career? Where do you see your start point is?
Top academic institutes with HCI degree teach students how to use specific methodologies to do research or design. However, they do not teach students how to design to solve a problem that really is the users’ needs. Do you think your institute teach you how to design? Why?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Arm (Mountain View, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
I did one-hour design exercise, one hour lunch with their hiring manager and employees, and another half an hour with one of the employees. My favorite part was I can get my design exercise performance feedback immediately during the lunchtime. Everyone was pretty honest to share what they thought about you, something like which part you could do better, and which part you kinda disappointed them. I appreciate all these comments, and I think it's pretty useful for my future job interview and work.
