I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
One of the weirdest and sketchiest interview processes that I’ve gone through. At every stage Palantir wanted to know about my other offers and my decision process concerning the offers. They asked me at least three times about my offers. I had two phone interviews which went pretty well. I enjoyed speaking with those interviewers. I then made it to the on-site. The on-site reinforced how weird and sketchy Palantir is. When I arrived I was placed in a room where the names of Palantir’s products were displayed on a screen. The names were things like Palladium and other elements sounding names. I must say the office is pretty cool. I had three interviews. They were pretty nice, but I noticed that almost everyone I interacted with at the office had blue eyes. I don’t know what to make of that. I thought I did well in two out of three of the interviews, but ultimately I did not get the offer.
I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England) in Aug 2023
Interview
Started off with an OA, 3 questions in 60 minutes, 1 dynamic programming, followed by a SQL and an API-based question. Passed all test cases with the latter two but not the first, so did not progress to next stage. Dynamic programming question was difficult! Otherwise, nice to see some questions related to actual SWE day-to-day and not just competitive programming challenges.

I interviewed with Palantir in August 2022. It was a Karat interview for one hour. I had the option to request to do the interview again but I chose not to take it. I received a rejection a few days after.
