First round was Karat Interview - the first 1 minute was introduction and talking about your experience. Then it was 10 minutes of Time Complexity analysis, and 45 minutes of solving LeetCode questions. The questions were of Medium difficulty. The interviewer wasn't interested in the interview at all, and couldn't provide any hints or suggestions. They would just agree to anything you would propose. I doubt they even knew the solution.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England) in Oct 2025
