I applied through a job portal, I was curious about price management space and was looking for a change. I was contacted by HR at pricefx. Had an initial interview with the HR person and an architect. Questions were mostly around my experience. Also, had a conversation with HR around my compensation expectations. My current salary was above their range but there was some option to push the range. The interview was casual and the people I spoke to were very pleasant. Following that I had a take home test, I had the option of doing that in Java or Groovy. I chose Groovy, even though I more experience with Java. I just liked the challenge of figuring out new things in Groovy. I turned in my completed homework in the next few days and was told that I did well. Next, I had a tech interview with the same architect. Again, was a pleasant experience and I believe I did really well. After a few days, I got an email from HR stating I was an exceptional candidate for the role of solutions architect but they ultimately chose to go with another candidate.

5 stages. 1) An interview with a recruiter. 2) An interview with HR. 3) A tech screening with a Solutions Architect. 4) A take home technical challenge. 5) An on-site interview with 4 different people. The interview was both challenging and rewarding. It's a great team and the interviewers were top notch. The homework project thoroughly tested programming knowledge while not being overly complicated.
