The interview process involved:

• One call with a recruiter.
• One call with an FDE (Field Deployment Engineer) to solve a technical problem.
• Three onsite interviews covering system design, debugging, and algorithms.

Palantir seems like a company that likes to waste everyone's time. They interview 100 candidates a week and barely give any offers. They waste your time on calls and this full-day interview. They'd be better off screening candidates more effectively from the beginning. They clearly think they are superior and that anyone would be lucky to work for them.

I definitely do not recommend this place for a "team" environment. It seems they care mostly about selling the most product. They probably have more recruiters than engineers, just to waste everyone's time. I am not happy at all with the process and how much of my time they wasted.

I should also mention that all my interviews went very well. Having interviewed and worked in the software space for years, I am very surprised. They only seem to want a very specific type of person, yet they invite everyone and anyone.

Why Palantir?

My system design was to create an app that returns all recipes that can be made with ingredients you may have.
