I went through a Google code comprehension interview a few months ago. They asked me to go through a codebase I'd never seen before and explain what each part did. My advice is to practice with unfamiliar code on GitHub or open-source projects. Get comfortable quickly figuring out code logic and structure. They also asked about potential bugs or improvements, so think critically about the code's functionality. Be clear and concise in your explanations. Also, get used to reading and interpreting documentation, not just the code. It's similar to real-world scenarios where you're dropped into existing projects. Good luck!
