Needs to be honest with recruits, work/life balance non-existent for good workers

Pros

This company provides a lot of opportunities to come and go as you please. You get to travel a lot with the company. Food and perks are beyond any other company. Casual environment makes it more pleasant to be there.

Cons

I was stunned when I found out that leadership asked people to fill out positive reviews on glassdoor, you'll see a stacked amount of reviews for the DC office in a span of two days. I am already looking for another job since this place has bait and switched on what I would be doing. A lot of the negative reviews are covered up, but there's a lot of truth: low pay, bad work life balance, and lack of good hiring or recruiting.

Great employer, brilliant people

Pros

Palantir is a great employer that takes care of its people and is constantly thinking about how to improve the lives of its employees - adding benefits and perks as they become necessary for the employees. There is a lot of flexibility in one's role and no hard definition or box around roles/responsibilities - the most successful people are those that seize opportunities and create their own roles. In addition, Palantir has some of the smartest people I've ever met and supports important and varied missions throughout the government and commercial sectors.

Cons

Palantir is growing exponentially which means that the needs, roles, structures, etc are constantly changing and evolving. For someone who craves order and structure and wants it to remain the same, Palantir can be a difficult environment.

Work that I look forward to every day

Pros

- The people are great, friendly and very intelligent - Interesting work that can have a real impact - Awesome travel opportunities. SF, LA, NYC, DC, London, Sydney, UAE, + more - Schedule is up to you. Come in and leave whenever as long as work is getting done

Cons

- There is a fair amount of technical grunt work to be done and if you're not careful you'll end up on boring projects. You can avoid this by proving yourself valuable in other areas - Hard to stand out amongst peers when everyone is so talented - No clear path to advancement internally. They're working on this - Work/life balance varies across teams. Some people are overworked (not me...)
