I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Feb 2025
Interview
I took the OA and passed, then passed the recruiter screen, 1st interview, but unfortunately wasn't taken after the second. I think the biggest thing they look for is people who are extremely 'bullish'. You're a complete engineer brain and don't care about ethics or other stuff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode Mediums.
What motivates you in your day-to-day?
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
