I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Mar 2022
Interview
The initial application is lengthy with some questions to answer. I was then interviewed by karat. This was 1 hour long with 3 orally answered algorithm questions followed by a coding question. I finished the first in 30 minutes and then we spoke about an approach for the second, much harder question.

Question 1
Time and space complexities for algorithms - DFS, BFS etc
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Nov 2018
Interview
First there was a screening interview with an HR over the phone. She asked about the projects I've done before, about my CV. Then they have sent me a coding challenge on HackerRank. I had 90 minutes to find a solution and code it.

Question 1
What was the most exciting part in this and that project? What did you learn through this experience? What exactly was your contribution to the project?
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Jan 2012
Interview
I dropped my resume off at the career fair and was contacted by a recruiter. She set up a phone interview and had a 45 min technical phone interview with one of the engineers. The questions were pretty straight forward, but they focused more on algorithm design and thinking of efficient solutions, no coding for this interview. I wasn't too thrilled with the interviewer, because he seemed to be in a rush just to get the interview done and over with. Even when I initially asked questions about his job, what he was working on, etc, he spoke quickly and wanted to move onto the technical part asap. My impression is that these are smart people, but maybe too boxed into work for me.

Question 1
Given a Fibonacci number, tell us which index it occurs at. (Ex: input = 2, output = 3)
