I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Oct 2018
Interview
The application consisted of three essays which were all generic HR questions. Then they sent me a three part, three hour coding challenge that involved 2d lists and an optimization problem.

Question 1
Hackerrank problem dealing with 2 dimensional lists.
Recruiter screening call, gauging interest. They were mainly interested in learning more about me, and how my expericnes may align with the role and company. Got the interview before any online assessment was shared, directly after a cold application.
After filling out essays on their application, I was sent an email outlining potential topics for the technical interview, as well as advice on preparing. The Interview was conducted with someone from the platform Karat. Was very smooth and the interviewer was very skilled, and they even offer a redo if you are not confident

Process was long and drawn out, with multiple different rounds of interviews. After the onsite, I had another interview with a hiring manager where he asked me even more technical questions.
