I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
The discussion involved describing a research project I worked on end to end, followed by probing questions about methods and analysis. Questions were about rationale (why behind the steps taken)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why you chose this sample size? Why you picked this method?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Tel Aviv-Yafo) in Jul 2024
Interview
Although the job is in Tel Aviv, Israel,
I was interviewed by a team from San Francisco.
Following a successful telephone interview, I was summoned to a Zoom interview and provided with a preparation booklet. I diligently read and absorbed the materials. The 45-minute Zoom interview was conducted by an interviewer who seemed eager to wrap up. I selected an application - any application that is not meta - and was presented with statistical questions. Unfortunately, I found myself unable to answer 2 of the statistical questions he asked, which was a significant challenge.

Question 1
If the number of users of a certain application decreases, how will you research the issue?
They asked basic statistic questions, along with questions about specific scenarios. Be prepared by reviewing all of your introduction course material and make sure that you’re able to explain both simple and more complicated concepts.
