I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) in Sept 2012
Interview
High expectation of technical abilities and a healthy respect for entrepreneurship. Despite the fact that I am interviewing for a BD position, there were plenty of technical questions...so be prepared for your run-of-the-mill coding questions and/or brain teasers. You should also understand the product before you step foot into the door.

Question 1
Given a problem and a known solution, how would you come up with a better solution and explain the improvements?

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.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
The process was straightforward and focused on both engineering fundamentals and communication in an ambiguous, customer-facing forward-deployed role. It included an initial screen, technical/coding-style evaluation, and behavioral discussions around ownership, problem solving, and working directly with users or clients.
