Friendly people but the company needs to grow up

Software engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of growth opportunities if you're willing to teach yourself Many friendly and curious people Tasty food Fun events Good yoga classes

Cons

The wheel is reinvented all the time here since we never actually use industry best practices. The leads are young (especially on product development) and it's an intensely political workplace. Many of the leads are horrible at giving honest feedback and people are frequently burned by this (including myself). People are often praised for working through the night or weekends. They are never praised for planning ahead to avoid such catastrophes. Working long hours is a badge of honor here.

Good tech place to work, bad place of employment for career

Forward deployed engineer
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The work is meaningful - customers are actually using Palantir for world changing problem solving. People you work with are genuinely intelligent and smart. Laid back culture allows casual dress and no time reporting so you go in whenever you want. Company is growing rapidly.

Cons

Pay is miserable at Palantir especially in DC/NYC markets. Burnout happens eventually to all Forward Deployed Engineers. Leadership is not promoting contributors, but merely handpicking the few they "like". Career growth doesn't mean much at Palantir. LOTS of politics at Palantir, a lot of people have left or are leaving Palantir for better opportunity.

Overly competitive with severe lack of leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Three meals provided each day, either catered or prepared on-site. - Endless opportunities to travel on behalf of the business.

Cons

- No review system in place at all. This makes merit-based raises difficult to obtain for exceptional impact and allows a large number of coasters to thrive in the company. There is very little room for career growth for senior employees, and promotions are a mysteriously vague process. - Overly competitive environment fostered by inexperienced leadership via aggressive behavior towards direct reports and members of cross-functional groups. Bullying and jockeying for power is a serious problem at Palantir. - Below market compensation package. Palantir issues stock options that are illiquid and slowed growth over the years has limited their upside potential. - History of cutting perks such as the housing subsidy which in many cases are pitched by recruiters as a significant component of the compensation package.
