I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Rigorous application process for a role that demands strong problem solving abilities. You first apply online and if your resume + cover letter passes the test, HR will email you to schedule a call. They ask a few behavioral interview questions but then get right to complex problem which they want you to work through verbally on the call.

Question 1
On the call I received this question which I had never previously heard. http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/23/the-puzzle-of-100-hats/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
