applied 2018 fall internship online. Got connected with the recruiter about 20 days later and scheduled two back to back phone interviews in 15 days. Both only contains easy to mid level coding questions. Also asked about test cases and complexity. The recruiter was really friendly and helpful.

Interview
After you passed an Online Assessment, the hr will contact you to schedule the first phone interview, and you need also fill in some forms, like employment application, skill background. The phone interview is just a voice call, with a Google engineer. He let me introduce myself and then did some technique questions. If the recruiting team want to know more about you, then they would schedule the second phone interview with you. The process of second phone interviews is similar as the former one.

The first phone interview was very bad. The recruiter did not say much and did not have a very welcoming tone.
The second phone interview was good. The recruiter was nice and lifted my spirits a bit.
Questions were not too hard, not impossible. Note, after you finish the questions, they have more questions about your answer.
