I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Jan 2021
Interview
Very long process. Two phone screens and two technical challenges that I passed only to get rejected on the virtual onsite portion. Ridiculous interview questions for the last one. Not enjoyable experience and not sure what they were looking for.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
