I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Oct 2025
Interview
There's a recruiter call where they just gauge that you're a normal person and have real interest in the company. This is followed by a coding interview with your usual LC medium. After is the decomp + learning interview (systems design and code review basically). This is where I got dropped.
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Washington, DC)
Interview
20-minute Phone Screen (background and interests) -> Coding Assessment (3 questions: 2 LC medium and a REST API task) -> 45-minute Technical Interview -> Virtual Onsite (Learning and Decomp) -> Final Round with Hiring Manager
The process included two phone screens, two technical rounds (one DSA and one learning decomposition), and a hiring manager interview. They had my email wrong, so I kept getting notified only a day before interviews, which really sucked.
