I was contacted by recruiter and after a screening interview got invited to a Karat coding interview. Overall the recruiter was exceedingly nice and accommodating. They were quite responsive throughout most of the interview process. Karat is a platform that basically outsources tech interview experience, I assume it streamlines Plalantir's interview process, however this causes a very random experience with the interviewer. As a result I had a rude interviewer who was trying to rush though the whole things. I have a feeling it was due to the fact that he needed to complete more interviews that day rather than to adequately judge me.

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.
