That's kinda funny, because their interviews are exactly the opposite. Toy problems you'd never see in the real world, crazy abstracted solutions, O(n) demands, almost encyclopedic knowledge of data structures and algos.

Choosing the right data structure may or may not be over-engineering, it depends on the application. Google absolutely want developers that are capable of over-engineering.
