It was clear from the beginning of my interview that the interviewer had already found someone else, and I quickly received an email after my interview informing me that the role had been filled internally.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard behavioural questions, mission-specific questions
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Sep 2012
Interview
I got to the phone interview stage after meeting and talking to recruiters at a campus job fair. The way the interview happened was weird though because I gave possible times to my initial contact, and instead of picking a time for the interview and confirming it, I simply got a call for the actual interview! Thank goodness I didn't have anything else planned at that time. The interview was a normal behavioral interview mixed in with some questions that involved evaluating the interfaces and business plans of other companies.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
the process is extremely long. It took three 1-hour phone interviews. Then an all day in-person interviews for 9 hours. The interviews were with over 9 people. The last interview is with one of the co-founders. That process may have changed recently given the demand for their time. The process was a straight forward. Be sure to interview the interviewers to determine what you are getting into. They ask a lot of questions to determine if you are a good fit. This company has so many moving parts, please interview them to determine what moving part you are getting into.

Question 1
no crazy or unexpected questions. I was interviewing for a management position. Therefore, the questions were straightforward about my passions, talents and abilities.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Applied via referral and received an email from a recruiter within a week. Scheduled a phone screen which was brief, but fairly detailed. The interviewer sounded distracted/disinterested throughout. Following the phone interview, I received an assignment to complete using Palantir. The assignment took about 2 hours. After submitting it, I heard nothing for two weeks, then received an email telling me that they were interested in candidates with more technical skills.
