Given an input of a 3D matrix of ones and zeros, count the number of contiguous 1-filled regions (as separated by 0-filled regions), as well as the size of the largest one (I think; doesn't really change the problem much). I forget what these were called...

Signed NDA (also don't remember the questions that well anymore.) There were some Palantir-y algorithms questions, a coding challenge (which was not hard), and one product question (think Google APM interview question but more technical - this is probably only forward developed people.)

Questions were mostly very similar to those found in Cracking the Coding Interview. If you haven't read this from end-to-end, stop reading these reviews, and go through it. Right now. Really. Some interviewers also tested my experience with Linux/sysadmin-like tasks. There were also some system design questions, asking how I could iteratively create some dashboard, and what feedback I would want from the client on my initial design.
