    Interview

    First I talked with a recruiter, who described Palantir and the process. Then I had a first round interview consisting of brief background questions, why I wanted this role at Palantir, and walked through a case study. I did not progress any further.

      Interview

      Application submitted through a referral. Recruiter was prompt in reaching out and setting up a call. Initial phone screen was a 15 minute discovery with opened ended questions about myself, career objectives and interest in Palantir.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY (US)) in February 2020.

      Interview

      It was quite a lengthy process but overall very positive and pleasant! The sequence of interviews was as follows: recruiter call, call with Deployment Strategist, 3 interviews with Deployment Strategists onsite, a final call with a Hiring Manager.

      The initial call with the recruiter gauged interest for the position and Palantir, and asked about some technical/data-centric projects I'd worked on. I was quickly scheduled for a follow-up call with a DS over Zoom. It lasted about 45 min, and the type of questions were about interest in Palantir, why I wanted to leave my current job, personal interests/passions, and more broadly interest in tech/data. A week went by without hearing back so I emailed them and they immediately responded saying they'd like to schedule me for an onsite visit. It consisted of 3 back-to-back interviews with DS and a lunch/presentation about the company. Two of the interviews were a mix of a decomp problem and behavioral, and one was fully behavioral. It was a very fun day - the interviewers were very friendly and interesting, and I had fun talking to them about my work/their work/the hypothetical deployment scenarios I had to work through. Two days later I heard back that they wanted to schedule me for a final interview with a Hiring Manager, which took place a couple of days after that, and I promptly heard back that I'd be getting an offer.

      My advice to anyone interested in this position (at least those not fresh out of college, I can't speak for soon-to-be/recent grads) is to forget about worrying about brainteasers or questions of that type, and instead spend a lot of time researching Palantir, their values, their product, and thinking about whether you really are passionate about working for them. If so - let it show! Don't underestimate the importance of more behavioral-type questions in favor of technical ones. Aside from specifically researching Palantir, I spent a lot of time reading articles/blog posts about data science and interesting/innovative ways in which companies use their data. And of course, spend time thinking about your past experiences and how they can showcase your leadership, tenacity, teamwork skills, etc.

      Phone interview lasts around 30 minutes. Very straight forward. They ask you to go through your background, followed by basic questions and some time for you to ask questions about the position and company.

      Interview

      The interview process consisted of 2 recruiter calls, 1 phone screen, and an onsite. If you make it past the onsite you can expect one last interview with a Hiring Manager.

      Your interviews will be with Deployment strategists, and if you indicated a space preference (government, commercial, health etc.) then you might get matched with someone with experience in that space.

      The questions were a mix of behavioral and analytical. I will give examples of both below.

      I had an overall positive experience. One piece of advice is to try and build a good rapport with your interviewer. They definitely value your character and personality and are looking for a mutually good fit for their company.

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in October 2018.

      Interview

      Had a phone screen with an international recruiter, and proceeded to a Zoom interview with a Deployment Strategist. Was told that they were looking for someone with more practical analytical experience.

      The second round of interviews was rather tough. The interviewer picked on one analytical project I had worked on and centered the entire interview around it.

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Washington, DC (US)) in October 2018.

      Interview

      The interviews themselves were what you would expect from a data oriented product role. The process, however, was fairly confusing and slow. Twice I didn't hear back for over a week, and had to remind them that I was waiting. Weird!
