I interviewed with Google in late March last year for the Software Engineer Internship for 2013. It's a technical interview. They're not that interested in your resume, but they want to know what you can do and how you think, coding-wise.

The questions aren't particularly tricky, but it's a phone interview, so it can be pretty difficult to convey your coding ideas over the phone. Meanwhile, they watch you as you type on a Google Doc.

Given a TV remote, write a script that gives directions to input some letters.

Starting from the upper left-hand corner, if the buttons were in 3 columns and you wanted to type "feed", you would want the output of the program to say: "right, right, down, PRESS, left, PRESS, PRESS, left, PRESS."
