I shot my resume into Palantir's job portal on a Thursday night and heard back from a recruiter <24 hours later. I was quite impressed by how it's not a black hole. Schedule was as follows; I always heard back for the next steps within one week. Recruiter phone screen: Wednesday 1st phone interview request: Thursday Phone interview with PQE: Wednesday 2nd phone interview request: Tuesday Phone interview with PQE: Friday Invitation for on-site interview: Monday On-site interview: Friday Phone call from recruiter with no offer: Wednesday The on-site interview consisted of a brief check-in with the recruiter, three 1:1 45-minute interviews with PQEs in the morning, lunch and office tour with two PQEs, then a product demo (which started late that day due to technical difficulties, so the other candidates and I were left waiting in the lobby for maybe 20 minutes). I was pulled out of the demo early to interview with a fourth PQE. After this, the recruiter came, gave me a T-shirt, and told me she would call me next week with an update. In total, I was on-site from 10am - 4pm. No luck this time in getting a job offer. I still had a positive experience interviewing, though. The recruiter was timely in her responses, the employees I met seemed happy with their work, everyone who interviewed me gave me their undivided attention. I enjoyed the office tour -- I requested to see all the dogs, and my tour guide happily obliged. :)

Treated like a robot. Seemed like they had flown in a bunch of people from the US to do a round of interviews in London. Everything was very structured and they seemed pretty bored and not very engaged. One thing that bothered me (having been raised in London) was that some of their interview scenarios involved software to "track the movements/phone call chains" of Mohamed or Ahmad or similar. Seemed a bit racist to me. I mean I don't want to work on software that is being built with bias already baked in at the interview stage.
