Interview
the interviewer ditched me and stopped listening while I was doing the code challenge. I did it successfully but it felt like a waste of time since they sent me the day after that all roles were filled. (it was a coding challenge and I aced it)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Just coding challenge, BFS/DFS stuff, pretty simple
The phone screen was very conversational, they try to match you with someone who has some similarity to you. I expressed interest and connected with the recruiter, but did not pass the OA.
Started with a short recruiter chat about why you want to work there. Next was a technical problem that involved hashmaps, looping, and accessing nested data. After not being successful, I received a rejection shortly after.
I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
They were fairly friendly and it was overall a positive experience. The interviewer was kind and explained the questions well. I'd recommend going in to just know more about the company and the technology, instead of going blind.
