Process
I didn't get too far into the interview process, but I can say I liked how organized everything was.
I did meet with someone beforehand to talk about Google and what they are about, as well as what the role would consist of. Afterwards, I conducted a technical interview days later.
Questions
I can't quite recall the coding questions I was asked, but I do know that data structures and algorithms are something one needs to be aware of.
I had not taken a course at my university yet concerning this aspect, but I had only basic knowledge about a few, which I feel was not enough.
