I interviewed at Palantir Technologies

Interview

They gave me a tech interview that was fulfilled by a 3rd party. Scheduled at my convenience... If I knew I was going to have an interviewer from India I would have made it reasonable for the both of us but poor dude was interviewing me at 3am. You definitely need to know how to implement hashmaps in your chosen coding language and big o (both space and time).

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England)

Interview

The interview process was structured and transparent. And the recruiter communicated the expectations quite clearly and was generally very helpful. There were some tough questions but they weren't something that you couldn't prepare in advance.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies

Interview

Process was nearly three months from first outreach to the final "no." This timeline included hiring screen, multiple call with recruiting, interview with manager, four more interviews ("panel") and then another one. I was impressed by the recruiter's attentiveness, but the rest of the process was very bush league and a disrespectful waste of time. Interviews were not difficult, but they were also very repetitive with the same basic questions repeated. Did not seem organized at all. Timeline was ridiculous. They refused to provide information on potential compensation ranges, and after three months did not provide any feedback about the rejection.

Interview Questions
  • Seemed obsessed with asking about how I worked with difficult coworkers and handled conflict. Red flag?
