I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
3 Phone interviews, most of the interview focused on soft skills and the incentive to work in palantir (Why Palantir?). First 2 interviews included CV walkthrough, 3rd interview was more philosophic. The focus on last interview was not on personal skills but more on way of thinking and how you express yourself.

Question 1
Give an example for a non absolute truth (can be interpreted differntly by others)
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
There were 3 stages:
1. Chat with a currently deployment strategist (20 min)
2. Onsite interview: consisted of a 45 minute technical comprehension portion and a 45 minute decomposition portion
3. Interview with hiring manager (30-60 min)
After passing a round, they were very quick to get back to me, usually same day or end of the next business day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is work you have done that you are very proud of?
Initial screening call with a current Palantir employee -> onsite interview -> hiring manager interview.
Overall very friendly and great. But it was a bit chaotic and unstructured though. The onsite interview had 30 people in one room for almost 4 hours. And the interview portion was only an hour of it. If you’re out of college this is exciting and great experience, but as something with work experience, it was frustrating taking PTO to go in office to have it be a college onboarding day

Phone screening basic questions about why palantir, what you are looking for in your next role, and talk about a project you are proud of and what you’re passionate about.
