I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Washington, DC) in Jun 2015
Interview
The interview process starts with an "NDA" asking the candidate to sign away many rights unrelated to disclosure, including being able to use Palantir's name in any context (such as writing this review). Opting out of this step terminates the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to sign this NDA which includes a clause that we know is broken by most of our applicants but we don't sue them for?
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Sydney) in Sep 2024
Interview
Screening call went well. However, the technical interview went horribly wrong due to a 1-on-1 session with an 'Engineer' who was not very fluent in English. He misunderstood me, and as a result, I was rejected.

Interview
The HR contacted me with a somewhat casual tone, expressing the intention to call me. During the interview, they inquired about my interest in the company and encouraged me to ask questions. I could sense their impatience to move forward during the interview. Surprisingly, there was no discussion about my background. A few days later, the company informed me that I was not a suitable fit for the position. While I know the competitive job market these days, the experience left me feeling undervalued, as if job seekers are treated as beggars.
very difficult interview with multiple rounds. Second round of interview is a 3 part interview with combination of AWS concepts, Puppet, scripting and systems administration. Interview was done virtually. SREs are identified more as sys-admin in the company
