I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. Went through a phone screening, phone interview, and five in-person interviews. Total process took about two months. I felt most of the interviews went well, and had positive feedback from the recruiter after each round. Received a call from the recruiter about a week after my in-person interview saying that I would not receive an offer. Despite the positive feedback, "several members of the team had concerns about my ability to perform in the role." Then I was encouraged to reapply in a year.
I prepared by reviewing the company's website, speaking to colleagues who used the software, and reviewing data online (e.g. Glassdoor). The interviews themselves were straightforward; a mix of technical problem solving, application of the Palantir platform, and business development questions. A big component of all interviews was the assessment of fit into the company culture. The interviewers were mostly in their 20s, and only one had worked at the company for more than two years.

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.

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.
