Process
I applied through the university career fair and got an interview two weeks later.
There were two back-to-back interviews on campus, each taking 45 minutes.
The first interviewer asked several concept questions, mostly on OS and networking. Then there was a coding question, which was not very hard.
The second interviewer gave only one coding question, which was very straightforward.
Questions
I had the idea that Google is all about challenging/tricky coding questions, but they did ask some conceptual questions, which I hadn't reviewed for a while.
