Several rounds of interviews - recruiter call, technical interview with a researcher, full day remote final interview. The interviews themselves were not too bad but I had a very bad experience with many interviewers not showing up for my final interview, multiple rescheduling, and overall haphazard process. It may have been a one off experience but it was stressful and I was disinterested after multiple reschedules.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For a give experience (something related to a Meta Platform), how would you go about choosing the sample for your research? What is the reasoning behind your approach.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
First, a recruiter reacheed out through email about interest in the role, and scheduled a call for screening where I answered a set of questions to answer. The questions included past UX research experience and alignment with the role. After the screening, recruiter selected me for a technical screening. The technical screening was a 45 min round where the interviewer was friendly and discussed about a UX problem for a hypothetical application in depth. The recruiter reached out the following day that I have been selected for the full loop that consisted of 4 rounds: 1 research presentation, 2 technical, 1 behavioral (direction-mca). It was a great experience with the team and the discussions were mostly about my own UX research experiences. I passed the loop and have been in team matching stage for several months.
Overall, the interviewers are friendly, but the recruiter is not transperant about the process and makes the candidate experience a bad one due to the uncertainty even after passing the full loop.
Recruiter call - Technical Interview - On-site panel presentation with Researchers. The process took around 1.5 months. It started better but the quality of the questions dropped at the end. Most of my interviewers were qual but I am more quant.
