J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palantir Technologies
Entretien
Applied online and heard back over a month later. They scheduled me for a phone interview. The recruiter was very nice over the phone and asked me a technical question about arrays. Then he asked me how I would go about testing a physical object…I forgot what it was. I struggled but he was very nice at guiding me in the right direction. Then he said he would set up a phone interview with an engineer with me.
My next phone interview happened about a week later with a female engineer. She asked me how I would go about testing an e-reader. I forgot to state assumptions; I later thought about so much more I could say, but in the moment I struggled.
Didn't hear back for about a week, so I e-mailed the recruiter. A few days later I got an automated notice that I would not be moving forward in the process.

Treated like a robot. Seemed like they had flown in a bunch of people from the US to do a round of interviews in London. Everything was very structured and they seemed pretty bored and not very engaged.
One thing that bothered me (having been raised in London) was that some of their interview scenarios involved software to "track the movements/phone call chains" of Mohamed or Ahmad or similar. Seemed a bit racist to me. I mean I don't want to work on software that is being built with bias already baked in at the interview stage.

Entretien
There were 2 phone interviews and 3 interviews on site before lunch and a demonstration.
The first phone interviewer asked what feature I would add to a vending machine and how I would test it. The second phone interviewer showed me some pseudo code and asked me to add a feature to it. They asked three questions onsite, one in each interview. The first interviewer asked me to pretend like the interviewer was an old grandma having trouble logging in. The second interviewer asked me how I would test a magic box from Calvin and Hobbes. The third interviewer asked me how I would deploy iPhones in Africa for education.
In the end I did not get an offer. They said it was because there was not enough communication in my interviews. I think with that standard, the only candidates they are screening out are the ones who are terrified of interviewing. For a company that prides itself on its technical talent, Palantir has very strange interviews.

Question 1
The most unexpected question was the one asking how I would deploy iPhones to Africa for education.
