I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applied for the internship on the website. After 2 weeks they answered me by an email with a link for a code challenge on HackerRank. The challenge wasn't so hard.

It was a question about finding a cheating trader.
Recruiter screening call, gauging interest. They were mainly interested in learning more about me, and how my expericnes may align with the role and company. Got the interview before any online assessment was shared, directly after a cold application.
After filling out essays on their application, I was sent an email outlining potential topics for the technical interview, as well as advice on preparing. The Interview was conducted with someone from the platform Karat. Was very smooth and the interviewer was very skilled, and they even offer a redo if you are not confident
