May have an upcoming interview with Google for a Security Engineer Internship. Wondering what kind of interview to expect. Everything i looked online just covered Leet Code and Software Engineering Interviews. Any insight? Advice?
I don't know how the internship loop differs, but for FTE I had a mixture of LC mediums, discussions on classes of vulns and how they worked, and a system design round on designing a botnet.
I imagine for interns you won't have the system design round, but the other two seem plausible.

Anyplace good to study up on classes of vulns? I’ve been doing software engineering for 3 years now but they decided to move me forward with security engineer by my major is CSEC lol so honestly not too strong in that respect yet at least compared to SE skills
I found OWASP's wiki pages to be a good resources for the big web vulns and also good mitigations for them.
For language-specific and native platform vulns it was mostly from experience, but keeping up with CVEs and what is being exploited in the wild might be useful.
In a somewhat related topic, red-teaming primers and exercises may also come in handy. I wouldn't dump too much time into CTFs or chals though, they probably won't really apply aside from maybe helping with your code review chops.
