I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Jan 2023
Interview
Started with a non-technical interview about getting to know you, see if the role is a match and explaining the interview process 2-Hackerrank test 3-Karat interview 4- Interview with hiring team or manager
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
First interview was including questions like “why was your … experience significant for you” or “ it seems like you had a great experience in your … job but were there anything negative about it?” And obivously “Why us?” question. Then they talk about the company, position and the interview process. They send a Hackerrank test consisting of 3 questions giving 75mins. Mine was named building dependency graph and I was only able to finish first question and second was close but I didn’t have time to debug. I received a rejection after this step.
Applied on their website and then received an email from a recruiter to schedule a phone screening. I expected to be interviewed by the recruiter (the person who sent me the email) but instead was called by one of their engineers.
