I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Google (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Coding Challenge and 2 Phone Interviews 45 min with two engineers. No behavioral questions. The interview questions are straight forward and the interviewers do ask follow up questions. Overall I enjoyed the process and interviewers. Heard back from Google 2 weeks after.

Question 1
Minimum number of characters to remove to make the word be in alphabetical order
It was interesting to see the way that the team was able to make the candidates more comfortable. The process was fast and interesting in order to make the candidate feel more relaxed
It was online and fairly standart. You will be sent a Google Meet link after scheduling with your interviewer. You will be asked one or two coding questions for STEP and SWE Intern positions. If you pass the technical rounds, you will be advanced to the team matching phase. As a tip, team matching is unfortunately not a guarantee and you should definitely continue looking for other opportunities as long as you don't have an offer in your hand.
