I had two coding questions back-to-back. I (thought) I performed poorly on the first one, which was really difficult. The second one was extremely easy by comparison. I think being in the Inside Look program from Google a year before that helped me obtain the interviews in the first place.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I had one graph problem and one string-processing problem.
Two 45 minute calls followed by a 15 minute follow up for any questions that I had. Each call was from a different interviewer, where the first one had asked me a multitude of different questions, and the second one asked me one question with multiple building parts.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Google (Boston, MA) in Oct 2021
Interview
You need to be a freshman or sophomore. The application usually opens in late September. Then the recruiter reaches out to schedule the interviews after like a month. You are given 2 back-to-back interviews, each 45 mins with a break of 15 mins.
