J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palantir Technologies (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. We had a brief telephone call and then I was matched up with someone on the Business Operations & Strategy team for a Skype interview. The interviewer was fairly rude, interrupting me multiple times during the process. Like others, I got the impression that they were looking for something specific. The interviewer said things like "Great, that's really helpful" and "Perfect". At the end of the process, I had 3 minutes to ask questions and was unimpressed when the interviewer stated that the recruiters would be reaching out in a couple weeks if they wanted to move forward and that "If you don't hear from us, then please reach out." The interviewer stated that Palantir was revamping their recruiting process to be more data oriented rather than intuition focused. My intuition was that I was uninterested in working for them.

Entretien
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, and after a brief dialogue, he scheduled a Skype interview with a person on the team. The interview was about 45 minutes long, during which the interviewer walked me through what being on the team is like, some of the problems they solve, and the long hours they put in.

Entretien
Phone screen was brief but cordial. Questions were around interest in Palantir and going over my resume. First proper interview was about a week later. The interviewer asked only two questions about my strengths and weaknesses. No questions about how I solved problems in the past, or how I would solve hypothetical problems in the role. Few days later they sent a rejection email saying "we do not have a position that is a strong match for your qualifications at this time." Surprising assessment, since I wasn't asked any questions about my qualifications. In September, the US Labor Department sued Palantir for discriminating against Asian candidates in their hiring process. Then all of it suddenly made sense.
