I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Meta (Singapore) in Oct 2018
Interview
I received an interview invitation on LinkedIn, a recruiter sent me his email.
Then he called me back, asking about my background and introducing the following process to me.
Because I am in China, there is no Facebook office near me, the first-round technical interview is a phone screen interview. I have to write code online, the interviewer will give a question and assess .
If a pass the first-round interview, I will fly to Singapore for the second-round interview. Whether you are an experienced programmer or not, the algorithm part is the same for all candicates. However, for experienced programmer, you are asked to take a system design interview. Your job rank will be based on algorithm, system design and behaviroual performance.
If you pass all rounds, you can choose to work in UK/Sigapore/US. Facebook will sponsor you a working visa.

The technical round hit me with a classic array manipulation problem: moving zeroes to the end without disrupting the order of non-zero elements. As I tackled it, I felt a wave of familiarity wash over me; I had just practiced a similar challenge on PracHub. The rest of the interview followed a straightforward path, with some easy behavioral questions sprinkled in. Overall, it felt very easy, but I wasn’t quite the right fit for what they needed, so I didn’t receive an offer.
