Palantir Technologies Interview Questions

Teams First Interview about my background, ambitions, current work, tasks, and interests. The interviewer was late and did not even put the camera on. Did not find the process pleasing nor encouraging.

I had a call with recruiter who wanted to do the basic screen, asked generic questions. The next round would have been with Palantir staff but did not get to that round. I applied online via website.

The first part of the interview process was a phone screening. Basic questions were asked about my background and education/experience. The second part of the interview process was conducted through Karat, and it consisted of 3 coding problems in 45 minutes.

Half day of interviews across several interviewers in the HQ office. Coding and problem solving challenges. Provided lunch and got to hang out with existing employees. Cool office with scooters/pool table/snacks & drinks.

Screening call, First Interview, Second interview with 3 different staff members. Process was long and quite exhausting. Got an answer quickly after the interviews. In the end did not receive an offer from them, but was a good learning experience.

First round was a multi step online coding challenge. Comparable difficulty to other tech company coding interviews. Next was a call with hr on your interest in the company. Did not make it past this. Good experience overall.

Regular application process, then there was a call from a recruiter with regular hr / fit questions and another call from a member of the software engineering team with more fit style questions

Phone call/screen with a recruiter who was nice. They asked about my background, skills, compensation, location, etc and told me more about the company. Then a technical video call with an engineer. This person seemed to want to show me how great they were and talk about their experience a lot, and not listen to me or my experience, which threw me off. Then went to a coding question which was not particularly difficult but in which I made a fairly basic mistake. The interviewer kept asking me what I did wrong over and over again in different ways so that it seemed like they just wanted me to say I was bad, although I clearly had already admitted my mistake. Then they hung up very bluntly.

Basic HR interview which was straight to the point. I tried digging deeper into the basic benefits, but I guess that's G-16 classified because I got shot down. The exact words were "that's private information". Duly noted! The second phone screen got off to a good start, as the talent acquisition rep was 10 minutes late, with no warning or heads up. A variety of questions were asked. The interviewer sounded very weak-kneed as if a script was being read and the interviewer did not want to ask the questions. The interview was not difficult, it was just weird, very weird.

Was sent a Hackerrank test for the online portion and was told to complete it within the five day window. The test put you through a real life situation and asked various questions on determining the root cause.
