Palantir Technologies Interview Questions

Application

The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY).

Interview

I was referred by a current employee at the company and after waiting three weeks, got an email to set up an initial phone interview. I did not go through the first round and the recruiter gave me direct feedback right after the conversation that I might lack experience. The rejection email was a default HR email and I would have liked to see more concrete feedback on how I can improve.

Interview

Very smooth and quick process. The recruiter was very quick in responding. I had two rounds of telephone interviews. Questions and coding exercise were fair. There is nothing to complain, really.

Application

I applied online. The process took a week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) in March 2018.

Interview

I applied online and had a phone interview schedule for the next day. The guy I had the phone interview with told me he knew nothing about payroll and could not answer a single question I asked him. He told me at the end that I would not be moving on to the next stage and good luck in my job search.
Two days later I was contacted again and asked to come in for a face to face. I came in and the person I met with had no questions written down and did not write anything that I said down. She never once looked at my resume. My interview with her was 45 minutes. She did would roll her eyes at my and make this face when I would give answers that apparently she did not like.
I was offered a job with another company the next day. This is not a department I would want to work in if this is an attitude you have to deal with.

Interview

Online coding challenge -> recruiter phone screen

I chose to pursue other opportunities after doing this stage, just based on my interests and what I thought would be the best place for me. No real insight into what would have come after.

Interview

Phone chat with recruiter, followed by technical phone interview in ~2 weeks. The technical interview involved discussing prior/current projects, and a coding question in the Hackerrank environment. Interviewers/recruiters answered all my questions and were always quick to respond.

Interview Questions

Interview

I was rejected by the HR recruiter during the initial "culture screen" because they didn't believe that I would pass the technical screen. So let me get this straight...a non technical recruiter inferred that I wasn't tech savvy after a 30 minute call that was completely behavioral...lol how does that make any sense? Seems like a very pretentious bunch of people.

Interview

I made it through four phone interviews before I was told I wouldn't be a good fit. While they were quick to respond and the turn around between interviews was short, I felt it was an opaque and long process. Most of the questions were behavioral questions and scenario based questions.

Interview

One of the weirdest and sketchiest interview processes that I’ve gone through. At every stage Palantir wanted to know about my other offers and my decision process concerning the offers. They asked me at least three times about my offers. I had two phone interviews which went pretty well. I enjoyed speaking with those interviewers. I then made it to the on-site. The on-site reinforced how weird and sketchy Palantir is. When I arrived I was placed in a room where the names of Palantir’s products were displayed on a screen. The names were things like Palladium and other elements sounding names. I must say the office is pretty cool. I had three interviews. They were pretty nice, but I noticed that almost everyone I interacted with at the office had blue eyes. I don’t know what to make of that. I thought I did well in two out of three of the interviews, but ultimately I did not get the offer.

Interview

Messaged a recruiter over LinkedIn and was sent a HackerRank coding challenge. After passing that a 30 minute chat with a recruiter was scheduled. Asked in-depth questions about projects, work experience, and career goals. Then scheduled a 45 minute technical phone interview. I got rejected after this round, however the final round would've been an on-site.
