I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in May 2015
Interview
I was interviewed over the phone with a Deployment strategist in London. She was clearly following a script and ticking off boxes. The interview did not leave room for conversation outside of their script and she was not able to answer any questions that I had about the work in the office where I was applying for the role.

Question 1
If your previous three managers could grade you from 1 to 10 where 1 is the lowest grade and 10 is the highest grade, how would they grade you?

Interview
They really want to get to know you throughout the process, and see how you think about data in different ways and how you solve problems. You have to build a product which takes a long time.
Started with a quick review of my recent experiences and behavioral questions, and then jumped into a SQL interview. It was mostly a large code file which had a lot of bugs in it that had to be fixed.

They asked my about a recent project I worked on at my recent experience and then asked follow up questions about implementation decisions for the project.
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
There were 3 stages:
1. Chat with a currently deployment strategist (20 min)
2. Onsite interview: consisted of a 45 minute technical comprehension portion and a 45 minute decomposition portion
3. Interview with hiring manager (30-60 min)
After passing a round, they were very quick to get back to me, usually same day or end of the next business day.
