J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palantir Technologies (Londres, Angleterre) en déc. 2015
Entretien
Got contacted by an external recruiter about this role and got scheduled an initial phone screen with their HR (which turned out to be contracted from the same agency, I think they work for Palantir in an on-premises manner). The interviewer rushed through a list of (repetitive) questions mechanically and did not seem to be responsive or interested in the answers - the experience was rather disappointing, because I interviewed with the company a few years ago and got reasonably far down the process. Last experience with the HR was completely different, it was more like a conversation talking about experiences, the company, its products and my career aspirations. I was also asked a couple of analytical questions related to data and problem solving, which did not happen at all this time. In comparison this phone call was dry and scripted - was not even given a chance to ask her any question at the end.

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.

Question 1
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.

Initial screening call with a current Palantir employee -> onsite interview -> hiring manager interview.
Overall very friendly and great. But it was a bit chaotic and unstructured though. The onsite interview had 30 people in one room for almost 4 hours. And the interview portion was only an hour of it. If you’re out of college this is exciting and great experience, but as something with work experience, it was frustrating taking PTO to go in office to have it be a college onboarding day
