First one with the Manager of the team. He asked me about my research work and gave me one dynamic programming coding problem. Then asked 2 behavioral questions. Next day I attend another interview with one of the team members. He gave me a problem and asked to compute linear programming. Then asked about some famous optimization algorithms.
