Yeah the interview bar is not lower and Google is one of the harder interview processes. That first round is medium level DS&A and algorithms problems (or harder), and passing isn't just about practicing LeetCode problems. It does take time prepare outside of bootcamps for people to hit the DS&A bar.
That said, it's a great opportunity to interview at Google! Jump in the fire and give it a shot, if it doesn't work out you have some great experience for what a top tier interview is like!
One of my first interviews was Google maybe 15 years ago now. I chose Facebook before I heard back, but it was exciting to get the chance to interview at Google!
