I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
I was referred by a friend, then given a coding challenge which I did well but not perfect in.
Then there was a phone call with a brief conversation (why Palantir, what are you looking for in an internship, etc.) with a coding challenge. Heard back a few days later to schedule an on-site interview in a few weeks.
During the on-site, I had 3 technical interviews in the morning. Two technical and one decomposition (see their site for what that is). Then they had a presentation called "Palantir 101" to describe what the company does. After we were supposed to have lunch with an engineer, but that turned into another decomposition.
After that, I was told I made it to the "next round", though I assume the decision was made during Palantir 101 and the "next round" was also the decomposition I just did. Had an interview with the Hiring Manager that afternoon.
Went home after that and got an answer within the next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic tree/caching/class questions. Nothing too hard but the questions all had a right answer and an extra-mile answer. Like I said, see their website for what a decomposition is.
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.

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.

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.
