I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2016
Interview
First phone screen was with a more senior member of the team which was pretty straightforward and got me really interested in the role. Next was with the team lead. After the 4th reschedule we were able to connect and speak for 10 minutes. Again straightforward chat with relevant questions. Next were in-persons. Went into the Palo Alto office for 5 in-persons. Met different members of the team who all knew their stuff but had varying degrees of interest in being there. The onsite process was very organized. Works like a well oiled machine so kudos there.
A few days later(today) received a canned email response stating they enjoyed getting to know me but didnt have a position that matched my qualifications at this time. After the effort and patience that went into all of the reschedules and the in-persons I think that at least one of the recruiters(there were 3) I worked with could of sent a personal email letting me know. The canned email didnt even function correctly and said:
"We want to thank you for taking the time to consider Palantir and interview with us for the {!Application__c.Position__c} position."
Experience as a whole was fine and definitely like the idea of what the company as a whole was doing but not putting even the slightest effort or care into the rejection certainly left a bad taste in my mouth.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None were particularly hard and were relevant to the role.
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England)
Interview
Long drawn out interview process. Spoke to people who clearly hated their job, wouldn’t recommend wasting your time with this company. Seven interviews for one job is excessive for a contributor job role.

Interview
The interview process was well structured and meeting different teams, it felt more of a personality fit rather than necessarily good at the job.
I believe that the company will find it hard to find someone to fit and stay at the role, if this is the case rather than looking at skill set. There is still an empowering feel from management which will mean that long term, the candidate even successful may not actually stay in the role for long time, managers need to be reviewed

Interview
I applied online and had a phone interview schedule for the next day. The guy I had the phone interview with told me he knew nothing about payroll and could not answer a single question I asked him. He told me at the end that I would not be moving on to the next stage and good luck in my job search.
Two days later I was contacted again and asked to come in for a face to face. I came in and the person I met with had no questions written down and did not write anything that I said down. She never once looked at my resume. My interview with her was 45 minutes. She did would roll her eyes at my and make this face when I would give answers that apparently she did not like.
I was offered a job with another company the next day. This is not a department I would want to work in if this is an attitude you have to deal with.

Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? (one of the stupidest questions of all times)
