Was contacted on LinkedIn by a University Recruiter about an opportunity. Got offered a first round interview over Skype. Interview went well. Asked a variety of questions, generic interview questions and technical questions as well. Less than a week later was contacted about a final round interview out a town. Although, was asked to fly cross country in less than 2 days notice. After a couple of days the recruiter set me up with a different position located in America.

I was interviewed four times, each interview lasting about an hour each, mainly asked technical questions. Coded a couple solutions.
