J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palantir Technologies (Londres, Angleterre) en oct. 2013
Entretien
8 interviews in total.
1 phone interview - basic programming questions to test my ability to program simple algorithms. Why do I like Python and Haskell, what's the difference between the languages. Asked me to expand on what static typing was vs. dynamic typing. Why would I use a hash map vs. a linked list?
3 on-site interviews in the London office - one algorithm design in Java, one general numbers and thought processes and one paired-programming type interview).
1 on-site interview with the head of the London office - general character questions, why I want to work for Palantir and similar styled questions. One brain-teaser which I couldn't immediately solved but worked through it with some prompting.
3 on-site interviews in the Palo-Alto offices, flown out over the weekend. Lunch and hotels provided! Palantir-themed system design question, followed by coding/data-structure question, followed by a data-structure/API-design question.
One guy brought his dog into the interview - so cute!
Was then sent home with promise of an interview with one of the cofounders.
Overall very positive interview process! Lovely people and lovely offices.

I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.

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.
