I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in June 2021
Interview
Standard behavioral interview followed by a series of technical interviews. In the first technical interview was more about architecture design around a problem and was more collaborative, the second interview was a coding interview to build a series of functions to support a popular mobile game. For context, I was more junior going into it and wasn't as familiar with the game. The interviewer wasn't helpful when I would get stuck or give a nudge in any direction only helped explain the rules of the game.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Build the logic that returns values needed to support a popular mobile game app.
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
