I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
Process was straightforward, one phone screen and then invited to the office for a series of three interviews with other DS employees. Interviews were balanced culture questions and analytical questions. No brain teasers, the questions were mission focused and required a pretty in depth understanding of how their software worked, which they provide you with before hand.

Walk me through a typical installation of our product at a client on a very short timescale

Interview
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.

Interview
There were 3 stages:
1. Chat with a currently deployment strategist (20 min)
2. Onsite interview: consisted of a 45 minute technical comprehension portion and a 45 minute decomposition portion
3. Interview with hiring manager (30-60 min)
After passing a round, they were very quick to get back to me, usually same day or end of the next business day.
