Four interviews, including screening, were conducted.
The experience of these was very negative when compared to interviews at tech giants. Candidates reported an unwelcoming feel, a sense of time pressure, frequent interruptions, and difficulties in expressing their thought process.
There was an expectation that candidates would thoroughly know Palantir's products, along with questions about how they would benefit Palantir's vision.

Fourth was a coding interview.
Every step includes behavioral questions.
