Pros
Great food served 3 times per day The engineers are generally very smart and capable people
Cons
This must be the worst-run sales organization in the country. Working at Palantir in sales requires joining a company that swore for almost 20 years that salespeople were useless and toxic but was forced to hire salespeople by their investors. This stifling attitude is stronger than ever and will make you miserable. The comp plan is a total lie and they routinely stiff sellers or fire them just before commissions and stock vests are due. Half or more of every onboarding class is fired within 3 months for not having a qualified F500 opportunity (on an 18 month average sales cycle!). If you manage to create an opportunity, you can still get fired if you have mildly inconvenienced any engineer and they decide to say something about it. They will stick “deal captains” aka their irrationally chosen favorites onto your deal and pay them half of your commission. Much like Stanford Prison Experiment, these people are completely invested in their false little world and will abuse you to no end. They have zero sense of business ethics or respect and the only way to win their game is to simply not play. RUN from these people.
