International interview questions

I couldn't get my resume through their electronic system so I called a friend and asked them to give my resume to the hiring manager. Once the hiring manager reviewed it another manager called to have a brief conversation and to see if I was still interested. Once we discussed, a few weeks passed and I didn't think they were going to call again, then a got a call from an HR person setting up the interview and travel plans.

Applied online through their website. First phone interview was with an internal recruiter for the company. He was rude and not very personable at all. Argued with me about the number of years of experience required for the position (said it was more than what was in the job description). He didn't ask me any questions about my background. Only asked if I was aware of the location of the job and how far it was from me (1 hr). He seemed to have an attitude during the whole initial conversation. We set up a face-to face interview which was supposed to be with 3 people at the plant location. But later I ended up turning down the interview based on the negative interaction with the recruiter.
