I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
I was contacted by recruiter and after a screening interview got invited to a Karat coding interview. Overall the recruiter was exceedingly nice and accommodating. They were quite responsive throughout most of the interview process. Karat is a platform that basically outsources tech interview experience, I assume it streamlines Plalantir's interview process, however this causes a very random experience with the interviewer. As a result I had a rude interviewer who was trying to rush though the whole things. I have a feeling it was due to the fact that he needed to complete more interviews that day rather than to adequately judge me.

Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.

Interview
The process was straightforward and focused on both engineering fundamentals and communication in an ambiguous, customer-facing forward-deployed role. It included an initial screen, technical/coding-style evaluation, and behavioral discussions around ownership, problem solving, and working directly with users or clients.
