Pros

Salary is great, benefits are amazing and they pretty much pay for everything

Cons

counterpart to having everything paid for you is that Palantir acts as if they own you and expect you to be working 24/7. Also, very little direction is given and you're expected to figure things out by yourself from the get go. And god forbid you ask for help as you will be seen as weak and inefficient. It's a soul crushing place that does not see workers as humans but merely as code monkeys.

Lack of direction, long hours, major waste in travel

Pros

I love the people at Palantir, they are mostly all genuine people. I believe the work we do actually does have impact in the space we work in. Coworkers all help and chip in whenever needed. Office environment is casual and flexible time off helps with not keeping track of hours. Stock for early employees is great, but i am not one of those. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Serious downward spiral towards a corporate company. People here waste so much of Palantir money traveling - i have never seen a company that has let more admins, ops, recruiters, and non customer people travel so much. It is sad how people abuse the travel policy company and corporate card. I worry about our financial future when people talk about all of the travel statuses they have and when people who really don't have to travel do. Leadership in the DC office is naive and there is serious nepotism within the cliqueness. Good people have left the company which is a sign that things have worsen. Recruiters are beltway bandits who have no real silicon valley or tech background, so they are moving the office to Georgetown to help with that but pay is not good here. Open floor plan is making a lot of people upset but the leads dont care. More roles mean more siloes, and less actual ownership. Burnout is real bad at this company, not good for work life balance .

Pros

- The health insurance is good - Nothing else, everything they try to seduce you in with is there to keep you at work 14+ hours a day

Cons

- Salary is low-balled and difficult to increase - Culture is toxic, they expect 24/7 response time, long days, 2 people on my team got divorced within 12 months of starting work - More and more (true) negative headlines of inappropriate uses of tech
