Pros

- Good Benefits - Interesting Customers - International teams

Cons

- It is really hard to work with so many people with big egos - It's all about moving data from one side to another side (from customer side to Palantir). After some years becomes quite boring. - Everybody thinks to be the best talent in the world, but it is mostly a marketing strategy

Pros

1. People who work there, you can make some life friends 2. Food/benefits/perks 3. Very mission focused company 4. Will get you interviews at any other companies 5. No schedule, no set times to go into work or leave

Cons

1. A lot of folks carry the "Engineer" title when they have no scientific or engineering background 2. Lots of decisions about structure being made about company at high level 3. It's all about who you are friends with at Palantir, or who you are in a relationship within the company 4. The company doesn't respect new talent, they rely on folks who have been there 3+ years to be the "leaders", who have high egos 5. Don't expect a raise at this company, EVER. Bonuses and compensation go to the developers and business development teams, every other team gets screwed. 6. Equity isn't what it is anymore.
