I think about 2-3 rounds. Started with an informal call with someone from HR/EA team. Then interviewed by a group of EAs after receiving some information about Palantir and the products they offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Palantir?
How do you manage multiple calendars and conflicting demands?
I applied online. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (London, England) in Feb 2022
Interview
1st interview with an EA - very casual and fine
2nd interview with another EA - still pretty casual
3rd interview with three different EAs (why so many EAs? What’s HR doing?) one person didn’t really know what to ask and the other two were more experienced asking proper questions.
Took three days before they reached out to the recruiter (after sending an automated survey for feedback on their interview process) only to lie about my unwillingness to support more people.
Real reason for hesitancy is that they all work long hours but they get paid well for it so it’s normal to be contacted at 11pm on a Saturday and work 10 hour shifts daily - that’s what they’re there for.
It’s clearly a company with no work life balance who are looking for robots who will just say yes and if you look at the comments from other employees they all say the same.
If you appreciate your free time and mental well-being - don’t bother. If you’re just in it for money - go for it.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
I applied online. A recruiter reached out to schedule a 45 min phone call. The phone screen was pretty in depth. Recruiter asked about past experiences and why Palantir. Moved to next step with a video call with an EA from a different team in the company. Easy questions such as whats your greatest weakness, how do you handle confidential information. Moved to the next round where I had a video interview with 3 EAs from the team. Each video interview was 30 min long. I felt pretty good with the interview and with the answers I provided. Within a week, I received a rejection email from the recruiter with no feedback. I'm not exactly sure what they're looking for. You may want to get some pointers from the recruiter and ask what they are looking for specifically.
