I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (McLean, VA) in Jul 2013
Interview
I was sent a request via Linked-in to chat with a recruiter about Palantir. After responding, it took a couple of days of rescheduling before actually talking with the recruiter. After discussion my experience, she suggested I would fit in the Site Reliability Operations Analyst position. I had a phone interview with one of the current employees in the SROA position . The interview was short, approximately 15 minutes. I was asked general questions about my current position and what interested me in Palantir. Two days later I was set up for a second phone interview. The interview lasted about the same time. Same general questions. Next day received rejection letter mentioning my skills did not match.

Interview
It was all pretty quick and efficient honestly. It's a three round interview process with an HR phone screening. First stop is the phone screening which is pretty straightforward. Second stop is the first round interview with a current SRO Analyst, Second round is a panel interview with three members of the team you're applying to, and final round would be with someone more senior.

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).
