Interviewed Apr 2012 in Washington, DC (took a day)
I applied online for an embedded analyst position (title is set to change I am told). I received an email almost 2 weeks later that they'd like to have a phone interview. That was set up a few days later. I spoke for 30+ minutes to, I believe, an engineer who asked me some basic resume review questions and began to broach some more technical items- which I believe were probably very elementary for people with CS backgrounds but, for me, were not so easy. When I got off the phone, I figured that was the end of my Palantir process but I sent a thank you email to the recruiter the next day and received an invite for an in-person interview which would be two weeks later. The interview process consisted of 5 x 45 minute interviews, all one-on-one and back-to-back. Normal interview questions, reviewing your previous experience, how you would engage customers, how you would problem solve. Also a few brain teasers which were in the normal range for difficulty, and mostly just wanted to see your thought processes in action, I believe. They called me the following Monday to let me know I did not get the job. I am happy I interviewed with Palantir, I felt that they were fair and friendly. And their expectations were pretty transparent too. I left the interviews feeling not up-to-par with my technical skills and that is, I believe, what killed my chances. My advice: if you are applying as an embedded analyst/business development side, analytical background is required but so is a healthy dose of technical know-how, in fact a robust technical skill set is required.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2 weeks)
Applied online and heard back after a few weeks. The first interview asked to interpret various graphs based on financial metrics (r^2, correlation) and the second interview was a programming test. The second interviewer didn't really know how to do programming interviews I think since she refused to tell me if I was even going in the right direction..

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 5 weeks)
2 phone interviews followed by an on-site interview with another embedded analyst. It took roughly 2 weeks between each interview. The phone interviews were mainly used to guage my analytical ability. I was emailed multiple charts and graphs and asked questions about them. The on-site interview was very relaxed with no technical questions.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 2+ weeks)
First call went well, I had a great conversation. The second call did not go as well. The interviewer seemed distracted. The recruiter got the news, but no clear explanation for the denial. Good company, good people. Too bad I didn't get to talk with them in person.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Initially contacted by a recruiter, who set up a phone interview and sent some information on the firm. Consisted of 3 phone interviews in total, each 30-60 minutes. After each interview, the recruiter would contact me about a week later and set up another phone interview. Each interview consisted of standard interview questions about the resume, current role, and level of interest in palantir. They also would ask what strategy i would use to introduce the software, as well as ask a brain teaser. Following the 3rd interview I recieved a form rejection email the following day.
