I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Sept 2022
Interview
First round was Karat Interview, which is a third party interview platform. it is is 45 minutes (can't remember exactly) round in the order of self-introduction, time complexity analysis questions and live coding questions. I recommend focusing on the completeness of the solution rather than the efficiency. I passed the Karat interview and had a pre-screening interview with Palantir recruiter. Then got rejected and told me there is no suitable job position for me.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.

The process was straightforward and focused on both engineering fundamentals and communication in an ambiguous, customer-facing forward-deployed role. It included an initial screen, technical/coding-style evaluation, and behavioral discussions around ownership, problem solving, and working directly with users or clients.
