I applied online to Google, and they sent me a code challenge to complete after several weeks. It was pretty easy compare to anything on Leetcode. After more weeeks, they set up a phone interview with me. However, I didn't prepare much since I was moved from summer intership to fall internship position which I am not interested in.
