River Staff Software Engineer interview questions

Pretentious interviewing dynamics. The CEO conducts the initial screening calls himself, but lacks the interviewing skills to effectively evaluate candidates for the position he's hiring for. He questions Staff-level ICs using college-level topics, such as database indexing and TCP/IP. Do Staff engineers at River implement databases from scratch or internet protocols? This approach is likely to attract only overpaid juniors.

15 minute meeting with the CEO who was 10 minutes late. 45 minute Trivia Session with an Engineering Manager. If you pass the Software Jeopardy game you get a coding challenge.
