I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at RiverNorth
Interview
The interview process for RiverNorth was, by far, the most pleasant interview experience I have had.
Beyond the typical questions to discern your competence in a field and understand your professional goals, they show genuine interest in who you are as a person and what drives you personally.
The interviews felt more like conversations than interviews, and the overall process was very transparent and moved quickly.
The last interview was with some of the founders, who are the kindest people I have come across professionally.
If you decide you want to pursue working with RiverNorth, I will encourage you to look up what a Teal organization is. RiverNorth is Teal, and it would be in your best interest to have some understanding of what that means.

Question 1
What motivates me and what were my goals professionally?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at RiverNorth (Washington, DC)
Interview
I had the awesome opportunity to speak with all 3 founders (3 separate interviews) of RiverNorth via video chat. Each interview was treated as a casual conversation allowing me to speak to my skills, goals (short & long term), professional and personal interests, and where I see myself growing.
All interviewers (founders) have an excellent outlook on the GovCon space and shared their experience & insights into the future of the firm and how they thought I would be an asset. As RiverNorth is a Teal organization, they made it very clear that this is something you need to be bought into prior to seeking an opportunity with them. It's a unique and new way of looking at the professional experience and something that should be researched and well understood before you chat with the company.
Overall, my interview experience was fantastic. The folks at RiverNorth are warm and welcoming all while testing your aptitude and gauging your abilities / determination to drive the company forward.
