1954 — Participants at “20 Questions”, a “spoken parlor game which encourages deductive reasoning and creativity”

If you’re a User Experience Researcher looking for a new job or a Hiring Manager looking for inspiration to ask new questions to your candidates, the list below should give you with some food for thought.

The list contains 46 questions that Glassdoor and Quora users reported being asked during an interview for a User Experience Researcher position at Google, Amazon, Microsoft or Facebook (for brevity’s sake, I’ll refer to the 4 companies as “GAMF” from now on).

The list includes all questions reported by Glassdoor users excluding generic ones (e.g. “Describe your previous job experience”). They are reported exactly as stated by users (including grammatical errors), and are divided by company and ordered by most recently asked questions first.

Finally, at the bottom of this article you’ll find a free presentation to help you practise the questions, either by yourself or with your team. I’ve also included some reflections on the questions.

Enjoy!
