Technical Behavioral
The Bristlecone interview process usually has 2-3 rounds. The most common rounds are technical, one-on-one, and aptitude. The average employee completes 3 rounds and receives a response within a week. It started with a technical round, then a manager round. The technical round covered OOPs, DSA, and SQL. The manager round was like an HR round.

Bristlecone's interview process started with an aptitude test covering English, Math, and Reasoning. This was followed by a Group Discussion (GD) round where candidates spoke for 2 minutes on a given topic; my topic was AI and its Pros and Cons. Next, there was a technical interview with two panelists. One focused on Core Java, and the other on Spring Framework and Spring Boot. Finally, there was a discussion round where they described the role and company, and I was asked to rate my Java skills. It seems like there might be a background check and offer stage after this.
