Unethical to the Extreme

Pros

Cool product but goes to waste with tactics used by Palantir leadership to corner government on use. I need to hide my post as they will most definitely investigate me for talking the truth. Palantir tactics for all their customers are to control the data and methodologies used within their platform to strong arm customers into paying more for future support. Customers are clueless on the strategies to hold their data ontology ransom. I'm obviously looking for a new job as I can't be apart of a company that says they are working on the most important missions then purposefully harm the missions pushing enormous costs in order to keep on top with their investors. This hurts our government and important national security missions. Shame on Palantir for lying to customers with "hey I'll give you upgrades for free" then proposing millions in upkeep. Government should look into how they control their data and ontology and manipulate who can use their platform and who cannot. Monopoly at it's finest.

Cons

Unethical company filled with lies. They lie to employees and customers. Don't trust them.

Pros

Super fun workplace with great co-workers. If you're an engineer, you're treated like a God. Co-workers are very smart and passionate.

Cons

If you're not an engineer, you are often looked down upon or not taken seriously. Lots of sexism/classism. Very elitist leaders. Terrible leadership training and mentorship.

Pros

Autonomy, responsibility, and exposure to companies and sectors of the economy. Could be an incredible company under the right leadership.

Cons

Poorly run company, led by novices. Structured poorly. Highly political. No upward movement. Constantly shifting strategy (or lack of it). Shady approach to gov work. Highly non transparent. Terrible product stability. Excessive churn on all fronts. Just so much to fix, but don't trust the people to fix it.
