I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Washington, DC)
Interview
Interview went well. Got to last round with hiring manager, but rejected because "interests weren't aligned". I think that they care a lot about cultural fit, and will prioritize that over technical skills at times. They also commonly reject at manager round.
The phone screen was very conversational, they try to match you with someone who has some similarity to you. I expressed interest and connected with the recruiter, but did not pass the OA.
Started with a short recruiter chat about why you want to work there. Next was a technical problem that involved hashmaps, looping, and accessing nested data. After not being successful, I received a rejection shortly after.
I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
They were fairly friendly and it was overall a positive experience. The interviewer was kind and explained the questions well. I'd recommend going in to just know more about the company and the technology, instead of going blind.
