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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Facebook will send you an email, telling you how to prepare the interview. Some sample questions are included.
The process is straightforward and designed to help us get to know each other. It moves through a few stages at a comfortable pace, involves conversations with several team members, and focuses on making sure it's a good mutual fit.

Interview
Had an initial recuriter call and then scheduled a coding round with 2 leetcode questions. Practicing Meta-tagged leetcode questions would help prepare for this round. Interviewers expect clear communication and code.
Generic LeetCode-style questions, many tagged as Meta, so extensive preparation is required to perform well in the technical interview. The experience varies significantly - some interviewers provide hints and guidance, while others expect candidates to solve problems independently with minimal assistance.
