Google Software Engineer - Internship interview questions

Applied Online. Got an email about 4 weeks later. They had sent me a link to online quiz. Two algorithm questions: one real-life situation, one strict algorithm question. The interface was like CodeJam submission interface.

One of my friends recommended me to a HR in Google, and the HR contacted me and asked me to submit my resume. After a few days, she sent me an e-mail saying that I had passed the Staffing Review stage and she had arranged two Technical Phone Interviews for me. The interviewers were from Google Tokyo (I applied to Google in Asia). They were very friendly and helpful, they told me that these interviews were not to test my weakness but to find my strengths, so don't panic when I don't know the answer to a question. After the interviews, they sent my results to the Hiring Committee to make hire or no-hire decisions. I received an email from the HR the next week saying that I had passed the Hiring Committee round and asking me to fill out a form about my preference and the hiring managers would be making a selection based on that. And just a few days after, I got the offer.
