Interview
I made it to the final round of Google's BOLD Internship program. It consists of two phone interviews, about 20-30 minutes each. Most questions were standard, with the exception of two "Google" questions mentioned below. The interviewers asked some questions specific to their product (e.g., "What would you change?), which is sometimes one of Google's more obscure products. One of my interviewers worked on Google Product Forums. Be very well-versed in their product line.

Question 1
One of my interviewers asked two "Google" questions, the other did not ask any. Search online for examples; these are impossible questions designed to see how you approach problems.
