Started with an online aptitude test, then had an interview covering non-relational database questions. They also asked about my projects and internships and what I know about the job role.

Technical Case Behavioral
So, Bristlecone is a global supply chain consulting firm, right? They focus on supply chain transformation and digital solutions. The interview process might've changed since September 2021, so it's best to check their site or HR for the latest. But typically, you start with an online application on their careers portal or LinkedIn. Then, HR or recruiters screen your resume. If it's good, you'll likely have a phone screening, usually with HR, to talk about your background and why you want to join Bristlecone. After that, it could be a first-round interview, maybe with someone from the hiring team or another consultant, either in person or online. Since it's a consulting firm, they usually have a case interview. You'll get a business problem to solve and have to show how you think.
