Immediately after applying, I was contacted by a recruiter who requested to speak with me via Skype.

After a week or so, I had the interview, which was brief. She asked me about the work I'm doing, my interests, why I chose Palantir, and what the company does.

Another week passed, and she forwarded me to a coordinator who wrote me via email, asking for my availability for another Skype interview with a Forward Deployed Software Engineer.

The interview was a week and a half later. He asked me about previous work and interests, and posed two questions:

• Write a function that recursively traverses a directory and deletes .svn dirs.
• Write a function that, given two lists, returns the common elements in each one.

The interview lasted around 30 minutes.

A week later, another Skype interview with a Forward Deployed Engineer was scheduled. He again asked about previous work and then asked me to arrange a given list of integers with the negatives on the left side and positives on the right. After giving my solution, he asked me to propose a linear-time algorithm to solve it.
