Interview
It was a fairly friendly chat about background, interesting company, a little vague with the process and what they look for exactly, not sure who they are looking for .
Pretty smooth process overall, was kept up to date on the process, phone screen person was nice, only completed phone screen before hiring was paused and next interview was cancelled.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in July 2024
Interview
I had an initial online assessment that included one DSA question, one API implementation question, and one SQL query question. After that, I had a recruiter call, which went very well and felt quite promising overall.
