Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 1 week)
Interviewed first with an HR person who asked some pretty easy screening questions. Later on I was told that I had done fine and was scheduled to interview with some people from QA/Development.
When it came time for the interview, I only ended up speaking with one employee, and we mostly just chatted about what they do, and just tech/industry in general. It was (surprisingly) pretty easygoing. Afterwards, I was called to schedule an interview at HQ.
However, the one thing I did glean from both interviews was that you definitely had to be on-site, in the engineering offices, in California. I decided I wasn't willing to relocate, so I asked them to cancel the process.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Palo Alto, CA (took 3 weeks)
I was contacted through my university by Palantir about the QA engineering position. I had an initial phone screening with an HR representative who asked me a few questions and set up the next interviews.
Then I had two technical phone interviews, asking basics about testing and a couple logic questions.
Then i was invited on-site for a day-long interview process. I had three interviews. The first guy wasn't very friendly and I knew from there it wasn't going to end well. Everyone else was nice and it wasn't a terrible experience.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Palo Alto, CA (took 2 days)
The Recruiter called and was more like an initial phone interview asking about testing. Then another phone interview was scheduled and that had some analytical questions as well along with the testing questions.
How do u test a blender was one of the questions.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Talked to a recruiter at the career fair at my school and was emailed a week or so later to schedule a phone interview. On the day of the interview I was called by the interviewer and was asked about what I thought about Palantir's technologies. Then went on to describe the position of Quality Assurance and what it entailed. The interviewer was very polite and we seemed to get along pretty well. The interview didn't seem awkward at all.

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took a day)
I just a email to HR. In first around screening they think me fits QA position. In sencond around it's a senior engineer. The question is how to find a word is symmetric. 'Tell' him pseudo code.
