Process
The interview process involved a variety of steps.
It began with a behavioral interview, during which the interviewer was professional, very nice, and interested in learning more about me.
There were at least two technical questions. While they weren't easy, I feel they would have definitely been manageable with good studying and practice.
Questions
Q: Why do you think you would be a good fit at Google?
Q: What do you seek to improve on?
And then a variety of NDA-covered technical questions!
