I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (McLean, VA) in Oct 2012
Interview
Had three phone interviews thought they all went very well. I was asked to fly out to Palo Alto to meet with more team members.... originally was only going to have to take off 1 day at my current position but a week before I had to fly out they said they had a scheduling conflict so we had to change the days I was going to have to come. ( VERY FRUSTRATING)
I ended up having to take off 2 day off my current job since they said they wanted me to meet with KEY personnel in Palo alto... I was herded into a room with 15 other people who were all also interviewing and flown from around the country and some the world. This was followed by 3 video conference with people who were back in VA and in NY ... and then only met with one person in Palo Alto and this person happens to fly back to the VA office often.
Thought all interviews went well even though one in particular was rushed the person abruptly told me he had to get off the call. Went home only to find out later in the week that I did not get the position...
What a waste of my time, and company $$.
I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Interviewed for an SRO role. Quite an unique role I have to say,
1~4 Round General behavioral questions
5 Round HM.
Straightforward questions and friendly interviewers.
I enjoyed talking to them a lot.
Round 1: HR phone interview
Round 2: Video interview with SRO
Round 3: Three back-to-back video interviews with SROs
Round 4: Didn't make it, but would've been an interview with SRO Lead
I had five rounds of interviews and enjoyed every conversation. The process was relatively straightforward and positive throughout. Questions typically ranged from the types of projects I have supported, risk mitigation strategies, and communication approach.
Interview questions [1]
