I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in July 2016
Interview
Applied Online, contacted by recruiter within the same week after solving a HackerRank challenge (medium difficulty). The recruiter was very helpful and kind, invited for phone interview.
The interviewer was not paying attention to suggestions or potential approaches for the problem. He was busy on his computer and sporadically saying that everything was fine, with very bad tone.
The question was relatively easy, although the experience was very bad. I would think twice+ before accepting an offer. Seems a very desirable place to work for, but certainly the company should train and select better their interviewers.

Had a chat with HR and then a technical interview with an engineer. They gave some some quite normal leatcode type questions that I had to answer to continue to the next steps.

I have so far completed the 20 minute recruiter call, which was an easy behavioral. They asked me what I'm looking for in a job and what I do at my current role.

Quick call with recruiter then technical interview. First call was easy, fit of company etc... Technical interview was leetcode easy and code walk through. Overall, much easier than what I had read online.
