Great focus on high quality of work with a flexible and encouraging work environment

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible work environment. Lots of very smart engineers focused on creating a product. Very smooth and distributed decision-making, with almost no conflict apparent. Great perks and social events.

Cons

Frat culture, which could be a good or a bad thing. Skewed gender ratio especially among engineers.

One of the best (and most intense) jobs you'll ever have

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazingly smart coworkers and managers -- a much denser concentration of brilliant people than anywhere else I've worked. Great office perks (food, dogs, etc). Fun culture.

Cons

If you're looking for anything close to a 40-hour work-week, then Palantir probably isn't the right place for you. They expect a substantial, continuing commitment of time and energy. Expect to spend most of your waking life in the office.

Work Hard, Be Challenged, Make an Impact

Business Outlook

Pros

- Mission & Impact - People & Culture - Benefits - Opportunity to grow

Cons

I could use more work life balance to be honest. I've worked harder at this company than any other previous job, put in way more hours. But it's also by choice - I love the people I work with and this company is about.
