I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (McLean, VA)
Interview
After two phone interviews with very friendly individuals at the Palo Alto office I did my third interview (for a separate position than initially interviewed for) with someone at the McLean, VA office. Let me start by saying that the first two interviews were very straight forward and very nice. A few technical questions that were pretty easy to field followed by questions based around my work ethic and working as a party of a team. This was very encouraging because I am looking for a position that is geared more toward good work environment and good products, rather than politics and pay. The Palo Alto office seems like a very enjoyable place to work that is focused on its most important assets, its employees.
The third interview with a McLean representative was quite the opposite. There were no technical questions and the interviewer seemed to have a very elitist personality. The interviewer had very little structure, he seemed to ask random questions but did not know what answers he wanted, and every question had a response of "Can you elaborate?" no matter how in depth I went. The few questions I asked were not answered such as, Q:“How is the office environment in McLean as opposed to Palo Alto?” A:“It’s an office environment.” After six minutes the interviewer abruptly stated that he had to go and hung up on me. Honestly, I would not want to work in that office after that interaction. But should I relocate to CA again one day I would definitely try for a job at the Palo Alto office. I honestly believe that Palantir has a great product and in general has a good work ethic based on the research I conducted while interviewing. Palantir is going places and would be a fantastic place to work… with the exception of those that are full of themselves.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England) in Apr 2020
Interview
I applied online. Although I applied for a job in London, the recruiter called me from the US using a US phone line. The original attempt didn't go through with my usual mobile phone number but I had a spare number (from another company) handy and that went through. The call was 30 minutes long with standard questions. The recruiter chose to refer me to the hiring committee who ultimately rejected my application. No feedback given.
The process was overall positive although I would've liked to understand the rejection. The recruiter I spoke to told me that I can reapply in 6 months for the same role or another (if I think I'm a better fit in a different position).
