Palantir Technologies Software Engineer Machine Learning interview questions

I really liked the interviewer of my first round of phone screen and the recruiters were reasonably clear in explaining what to expect for both the phone screens and onsite. The company has a lot of positive aspects and would be a great place to work at and learn overall. The onsite experience was not as pleasant compared to other places like Facebook or LinkedIn. Questions were more textbook-type and not open-ended. No depth in problem-solving was reflected in the machine learning type of questions. One interviewer admitted that "we don't do long-term research type of work" and hinted on the importance of fast turn-around over depth and accumulation of knowledge. It sounds like they want to hire people with past experience that are desperately needed for the current projects and care less about how to build similar experience. I had to pass on a previous offer to come to their onsite, which I probably would not do if I hadn't like the first round phone interview that much. But I guess these are the rules of the game. And I do appreciate how the work culture is reflected in the interviewing process. I still think the company makes great products but might not be a great place if you want room to grow.
