Had answered a brief set of questions about my prior experience and skills through an email with a HR manager, and had an online technical interview. This interview was focused on statistical knowledge and problem solving skills with a hypothetical case.

Question 1
I was asked to solve a hypothetical case about an App.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Meta in May 2025
Interview
The interview questions are standard but you need to answer in deeper details. I got to arrive the final on-site interview but didn't get luck on offer. The competition is fierce but the interview process is good.

Question 1
What will you do as a ux researcher if you find out there is fewer and fewer people using some feature of this new social media app?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Meta in Jun 2025
Interview
This review is for the 1st technical screening interview, which follows the recruiter screening call. It is a 45 minute video screening interview with a quantitative researcher. I received feedback that I am not moving forward in the interview process.

Question 1
Choose an app you like and we will focus on this for the rest of the interview. Say that users are suddenly dropping off from using the app (they still have an account but stop using it). How would you research the basis for this churn? Then there were additional follow-on technical questions related to steps in looking at different types of data (log data, surveys, integrating qualitative data, sampling/weighting, reaching out to users for feedback when they are no longer using the app, survey development - questions, etc., trade-offs in response analysis choices (e.g., means vs aggregating percent pos/neg, how to prioritize findings, how to present results to stakeholders, what to do if some factor you cannot measure is the reason for churn, and what to do if you need to get some kind of results fast (e.g., like in 2 days and there is no time to conduct a survey). From my interview, Meta heavily focuses on survey data and user log data and producing simple analyses with great rigor (less focus on 'niche' advanced analytics like network analysis or multilevel modeling) so be prepared to show preciseness, in depth knowledge of survey development and analysis and user log data. Do not waste your time preparing answers using advanced analytical approaches.
