I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Sep 2016
Interview
Had a phone screen with a recruiter, who set up a phone interview with an engineer. Interview was about 45 minutes, with the first 20 minutes being the recruiter asking about my background and interest in the company. Progressed to a coding challenge on HackerRank, which wasn't too difficult. Answered the question successfully, but didnt get an offer. Looking back, could have made a cleaner implementation of the answer.

Recruiter screening call, gauging interest. They were mainly interested in learning more about me, and how my expericnes may align with the role and company. Got the interview before any online assessment was shared, directly after a cold application.
After filling out essays on their application, I was sent an email outlining potential topics for the technical interview, as well as advice on preparing. The Interview was conducted with someone from the platform Karat. Was very smooth and the interviewer was very skilled, and they even offer a redo if you are not confident
