I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Simple phone interview and an onsite interview. The recruiters fast tracked me when I had a deadline coming up. They were very friendly and provided anything you would really need during an interview. The company is a really homey place and it's really fun to work at.

Question 1
Convert a Hashmap<A, Hashmap<B, C>> to another hashmap of form Hashmap<C, Hasmap<A, B>>
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in May 2014
Interview
First interview was trivial with a few technical question. On the second interview I told a little about myself and was presented with one problem which I failed to solve completely because we ran out of time.

Question 1
There is a 3d matrix where a slice would look like this
1 3 4 0 0
1 2 0 0 0
2 4 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 8
0 0 0 1 0
in this slice there are two islands with weights of 9 and 18. Islands can be connected in the 3rd dimensions too (i.e. 3d chunks). Fund the chunk/3d-island with the largest weight (in the most optimal way space- and complexity-wise).
