The interview process is super thorough at Palantir. I was quite surprised how quickly and efficiently it went compared to many of the other companies I had received offers from. It starts with you applying, then a recruiter reaches out within 1-2 days. I got a phone screen from my recruiter but was set up by someone else. To my surprise, the recruiter that called me from DC is a CS person so away we went with technical questions. First time I actually spoke with anyone technical as a recruiter in my life. He was super thorough, asked me a lot of questions about myself, then proceeded with some questions that were tougher than I had seen on other postings here. I got an immediate onsite from him to the DC office. Before my interview on-site, he called me again to run through what my day would be like and we spent an hour talking back and forth. I had a lot of questions and he was extremely patient answering each one. At the McLean office, I was set up for a few interviews, mostly all technical asking me questions about my experiences and CS problems. Lunch and a demo of the product was given as well. I got to sit down with the recruiter afterwards and we spent a good amount of time to understand the role again, all of the companies perks, compensation system, and get a chance to ask any questions again. I was genuinely impressed how smooth this process was and how personable the recruiter was with me. He even remembered my wife's name that I had mentioned on the phone! The office is great, it's a shame that I won't be joining them, I got a call within 2 days from the recruiter that they decided to pass and we talked about other potential roles across the company.

Had a chat with HR and then a technical interview with an engineer. They gave some some quite normal leatcode type questions that I had to answer to continue to the next steps.
