Forward Deployed Software Engineer Interview Experience - Munich, Germany
January 1, 2023
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
A recruiter on LinkedIn asked me to apply.
The first step was a Karat interview. Basically, there were two LeetCode-style questions. You needed to compile the code, otherwise, the interview was considered a failure.
The Karat engineers know nothing about Palantir, so there was no opportunity to ask any questions about the company during the interview.
Questions
2 LeetCode medium to hard questions.

Great place to intern
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
October 2, 2015
Pros: Learned a lot, had a more meaningful project than most interns at other companies that I know.
Met a lot of really smart people who I will be sure to keep in touch with.
Integrated quickly into my team.
Learned about new verticals.
Lots of cool benefits and events.
Cons: Worked hard and was exhausted at times. This wasn't a summer vacation.
Some internal documentation could have been better, making it easier to get up to speed on projects.

Purpose, autonomy & mastery
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
August 25, 2015
Pros: Transformative projects with customers who matter.
A-grade employees, driven towards material impact.
A very high degree of autonomy awarded to staff.
Cons: Resourcing - there are more opportunities than staff. Sometimes this means staff get stuck with one customer; sometimes it means that ownership can be lacking as staff move through a customer to fight a fire rather than truly fix an issue in a sustainable way.
Workforce is not especially diverse, despite everyone's efforts to address this.
Being in a branch office, it is sometimes hard to divine strategic and tactical vision. Conversely, we are given wide latitude to chart our own destiny.
