The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
The HR screening was excruciating - it took more than 1 hour, going into all kinds of personal and uncomfortable questions (and some inappropriate questions IMO, e.g. what companies exactly you are interview with. Why? So that they can understand your "ambitions"). The technical interview was standard and pretty ok.
I got a 2-sentence rejection with zero feedback.
Pretty weird experience, I will not be applying again
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

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.

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.
