I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (San Diego, CA) in Sep 2016
Interview
Round 1: 2 hour Hackerank challenge- fairly easy questions
Round 2: Phone interview: Twice I sat in front of my phone and laptop waiting for the interviewer to call but I never got any call. Finally when the interview was scheduled for the third time, I received the call.
10 mins: Resume discussion, why i want to work with Palantir etc.
30 mins: Coding question
5 mins: Questions
Total interview duration: 45 mins
I think I did a good job with the coding question. The interviewer seemed pleased with the solution. Didn't say if he felt something was wrong/odd/missing...
2 days later, got an automated email stating we can't continue with you as we have decided to move ahead with other candidates.
Would have appreciated, if atleast after wasting 3 hours, the recruiter could have atleast sent a personal message. Now I am absolutely clueless about what went wrong in what seemed to be a very decent interview...
Applied on their website and then received an email from a recruiter to schedule a phone screening. I expected to be interviewed by the recruiter (the person who sent me the email) but instead was called by one of their engineers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me what was the hardest challenge I solved and then asked how SLAM works.
Had a chat with HR and then a technical interview with an engineer. They gave some some quite normal leatcode type questions that I had to answer to continue to the next steps.
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
I have so far completed the 20 minute recruiter call, which was an easy behavioral. They asked me what I'm looking for in a job and what I do at my current role.
