The process started with a coding quiz/sample, and progressed to two phone interviews where I coded on a Google Doc with two different Google employees.

My first interviewer was 15 minutes late, which almost made me miss my second interview. His accent was thick, and he kept changing what he wanted me to code.

The second interview went a little better, but neither of my interviewers were helpful, as I had read on previous Glassdoor reviews. Instead of helping when I got stuck, my second interviewer laughed when I'd ask for clarification.

Additionally, my original recruiter never followed up with me. I had to email her asking for an update, and then she called minutes later to tell me, very bluntly, that they were not moving forward with me. I was expecting more professionalism from Google.

Your questions could vary vastly depending on your interviewer.

In my experience, they didn't ask me anything they had suggested I study from the PowerPoint guide they send internship candidates. I'd say just know your data structures well and practice problems on LeetCode.

Even if you don't move forward with Google, your study will land you a different internship!
