The interviewer asked a lot of questions about the research paper I wrote at age 17 on Cloud Computing. The he asked some problem solving questions. It was almost 2 years ago when I was a college freshman. So I can't remember the exact questions, but those were related to data structure of C++, and I could answer one question correctly out of two.
