I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Jan 2025
Interview
30-minute interview with head of team then invited to virtual onsite, consisting of 1 hour decomp + 1 hour technical. Decomp was a consulting case study using data to optimize a supply chain business. Make sure you know SQL for technical. Interviewers were a pleasure to speak with, very interesting/engaging. Overall enjoyable experience despite not receiving offer.

Interview
They really want to get to know you throughout the process, and see how you think about data in different ways and how you solve problems. You have to build a product which takes a long time.
Started with a quick review of my recent experiences and behavioral questions, and then jumped into a SQL interview. It was mostly a large code file which had a lot of bugs in it that had to be fixed.

There were 3 stages:
1. Chat with a currently deployment strategist (20 min)
2. Onsite interview: consisted of a 45 minute technical comprehension portion and a 45 minute decomposition portion
3. Interview with hiring manager (30-60 min)
After passing a round, they were very quick to get back to me, usually same day or end of the next business day.
