I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
They drop a vague, messy problem in the doc, say almost nothing, and watch how I pull it apart. I'm talking the whole time, defining inputs, drawing out subproblems, asking clarifying questions nobody answers. It feels less like a test and more like pair-programming with a very quiet coworker.

Interview
1. Applied online
2. Short screen call with a engineer a few weeks later.
3. Took a few weeks but eventually they reached out about the next round.
4. A back to back interview with two engineers: first was coding, a pretty basic question +. a short discussion on scaling (map reduce), second was a "Learning" interview, quickly learn a new query language (basically SQL) and database and perform a few queries.
5. A decomposition interview with a FDAI Engineer, basically a technical problem solving interview, focused on ml / ai.
In all 3 interviews the interviewers were engaged and spent time talking to me about my past work and aspirations.
6. Hiring manager interview: Spent almost the entire hour grilling me about my experience and how I would rebuild some of the projects I've done.
Recruiter was not super engaged and it took them a while to get back to me between rounds, but overall was ok.
