I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
I was referred by a friend, then given a coding challenge which I did well but not perfect in.
Then there was a phone call with a brief conversation (why Palantir, what are you looking for in an internship, etc.) with a coding challenge. Heard back a few days later to schedule an on-site interview in a few weeks.
During the on-site, I had 3 technical interviews in the morning. Two technical and one decomposition (see their site for what that is). Then they had a presentation called "Palantir 101" to describe what the company does. After we were supposed to have lunch with an engineer, but that turned into another decomposition.
After that, I was told I made it to the "next round", though I assume the decision was made during Palantir 101 and the "next round" was also the decomposition I just did. Had an interview with the Hiring Manager that afternoon.
Went home after that and got an answer within the next week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic tree/caching/class questions. Nothing too hard but the questions all had a right answer and an extra-mile answer. Like I said, see their website for what a decomposition is.
Had a chat with HR and then a technical interview with an engineer. They gave some some quite normal leatcode type questions that I had to answer to continue to the next steps.

Interview
I have so far completed the 20 minute recruiter call, which was an easy behavioral. They asked me what I'm looking for in a job and what I do at my current role.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick call with recruiter then technical interview. First call was easy, fit of company etc... Technical interview was leetcode easy and code walk through. Overall, much easier than what I had read online.
