I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
I found the job posting on the internet. About a week after I applied I received an email to schedule a short phone interview. I agreed and it seemed to be a pleasant all be it short conversation. At the end of the interview I inquired into the rest of the interview process. I was informed that I would receive another phone interview and if they were interested I could possibly have a physical interview. While I waited for the next phone interview I went on the website to familiarize myself with their interview process. A week later I had my second interview, this interview went well and the job sounded right up my alley. At the end of the interview I was surprised to find out that I would scheduled for another phone interview. Even though it was frustrating me, some of my friends who worked in the corporate world assured me that I wouldn't make it to a third interview without them being interested in me. Based upon my friends views and the websites interview practices I was excited to have another interview. Sadly when that interview happened I quickly found out that this interview was for a completely different job than the one I had applied for. I decided to go with it, I wanted to show how flexible I was. At the end of the interview I took the initiative and inquired into the next phase. I was told that if they were interested I would be scheduled for another phone interview. I was frustrated at this point, but I really wanted the job. By the fourth interview I was more than frustrated, I had spoken to different Admins each time I interviewed, not all of them worked for the department I was applying for and once again I was interviewing for a completely different job. Because of this, when I received the email telling me that I was not going to be moving forward in the interview process I wasn't upset I laughed. I feel just fine not working for a bi-polar company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None of the questions seemed to be difficult, the only difficult part was trying to keep up with the fact that the job, thus the job description changed every interview.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Apr 2025
Interview
Did not have a recruiter phone screen, jumped straight to an interview with another admin. About a week goes by, and they asked to fit two more interviews in ASAP with more admin team members. Fine, all good, I make myself available even though I’m traveling outside the US. One of the interviewers seems to be very sincere when she tells me she enjoyed our talk.
A week goes by, I follow up, and hear back the team is busy at an offsite. Another week goes by, I follow up, nothing. About three weeks later I received an email letting me know they “ determined that we do not have a position that is a strong match for your qualifications at this time.” But also I was great to work with during the process.

Interview
Long winded, convoluted interview process. Most unusual interview process I’ve experienced, just three informal chats so it made it hard what the right answer was. Long waiting times between interviews and a long turnaround to get feedback.
