I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I did an online coding test sent form Palantir after my applying. It's a programming problem and it's very difficult, I didn't pass all the test cases, but I past majority of them. The next day, an hr contact me and want to give me a hr talking interview. We chat on the phone, and asked me a lot of behavior questions. I answered not very fluently. And that hr told me will send my resume to the teams, they will see if there is good fit. And after two days, I got a thank you letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you like the company that you did your internship? What kinds of things you like or dislike?
Any specific example? Did you got a return offer?
Recruiter screening call, gauging interest. They were mainly interested in learning more about me, and how my expericnes may align with the role and company. Got the interview before any online assessment was shared, directly after a cold application.
After filling out essays on their application, I was sent an email outlining potential topics for the technical interview, as well as advice on preparing. The Interview was conducted with someone from the platform Karat. Was very smooth and the interviewer was very skilled, and they even offer a redo if you are not confident
