This interview is about Google. I know there are lots of sites about Google out there, and I've probably browsed through each of those. I had a phone interview with Google a few days back... and my experience was surprisingly pleasant compared to many others. The recruiters were very warm in their communications. Interviewers were decent too. They don't ask ridiculous questions in the phone interviews. All they look for is whether you are a legitimate candidate. They know very well about your strengths... and you will not asked anything outside of that comfort zone. * You only need to know what YOU claim to know * They'll probe various parts of your resume to check if you have exaggerated anything. There'll be some simple questions on data structures. I'm not a CS student, but even I could understand what they were looking for. So, all you CS folks out there, please keep your cool and take a relaxed interview.
