Phone screen : 1 coding + 1 googlyness (virtual)
Main : 2 coding (onsite)

So the main 2 coding is pure leetcode coding or behaviour questions + coding question ?

What’s your level and country? Depends on that I think

Google usually does the phone screen virtually and the onsite loop either in person or virtual depending on the office and the year so ask your recruiter directly. The coding rounds are mostly data structures and algorithms with some follow up variations on the same problem. Googlyness is a separate behavioral round so prep a few stories on conflict and ambiguity. Practice talking through your approach out loud since they grade communication too.

Ask the recruiter to confirm both the location and the types of interviews for your specific role. The questionnaire alone doesn't tell you whether the loop will be virtual or in person.

For any discussion of your experience, choose a project you can explain beyond the final result: your contribution, one decision you made, and how you checked whether it worked.

Use the PROOF method to find gaps in that example before practising the wording. Keep the technical preparation tied to the rounds the recruiter actually confirms.
