Software Developer Interview Experience

Process

I was contacted via LinkedIn by one of Google's in-house recruiters.

We traded a few emails. I sent the recruiter my resume, and after a phone screen with the recruiter, I moved on to a technical phone screen.

The technical phone screen went okay, and the recruiter scheduled a second technical phone screen. A question in the second phone screen blindsided me and basically derailed things.
