I was contacted by a 3rd party recruiter via LinkedIn. I was scheduled a phone interview and I talked with a very friendly employee on the phone. I was asked basic Java questions as well as some fun questions on life outlook. I was brought on-site a week or two later to do three interviews. I was given technical problems to solve on a board. I was told sometime during the next week that I was invited to meet the founders in California. I was flown over there and they put me up in a fancy hotel and I met one of the founders. We had a nice chat and it lasted just about 15 minutes. Next day I found out I got the job.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
The process was straightforward and focused on both engineering fundamentals and communication in an ambiguous, customer-facing forward-deployed role. It included an initial screen, technical/coding-style evaluation, and behavioral discussions around ownership, problem solving, and working directly with users or clients.
