I received an interview invitation on LinkedIn, and 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, and 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 I 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 candidates. However, for experienced programmers, you are asked to take a system design interview. Your job rank will be based on algorithm, system design, and behavioral performance.

If you pass all rounds, you can choose to work in the UK, Singapore, or the US. Facebook will sponsor you a working visa.

Facebook will send you an email telling you how to prepare for the interview. Some sample questions are included.
