I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
1) Coding Challenge
2) Phone screening with HR rep
3) Phone interview with coding
4) Onsite interview (4 technical interviews)
Went to Palo Alto HQ, had 3 interviews in the morning, followed by company lunch with a engineer chaperone. I missed the product demo. The weirdest part was sitting in a room with other candidates as people got called out one by one for a followup afternoon interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Determine whether a crossword (a grid of 0s and 1s) is valid - i.e. all 1s are reachable from other 1s.
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.

Interview
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.

Interview
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.
