I applied online. I interviewed at Google (New York, NY) in Jul 2018
Interview
Very streamlined, friendly recruiters and interviewers. It was a pretty quick process over the course of about 2-3 weeks. I had a phone screen and two technical interviews. Used google docs for the coding interface.

Question 1
Asked about my background in the screening phone call. Did 2 medium leetcode problems in a Google doc with the interviewer, with google meet video call in another tab. Placed with interviewers who were on teams relevant to my background.
As expected from a Google interview, it consists of a phone interview and a technical interview. In my opinion, with the skill level Google is looking for, the interview is fair and accurately tests the ability of a candidate. I imagine the interview for full-time positions is harder, but as an intern, I felt that it was the right amount of difficulty and complexity.
there is no online assessment, very simple phone call, then two technicals. technicals are not difficult by any means. then you get put into team matching, after a couple months
