Interviews almost never require fancy algorithms, just the super basic ones that you learn in the first course in college.

I've seen a ton of interviews at Google, none of them required fancy algorithms. They did require you to take some fundamental algorithm and change it up a bit, but the end result wasn't fancy algorithms just basic ones with a twist.
