Process

After I applied, I was sent a three-question HackerRank technical assessment covering SQL, API calls, and an algorithm question. After that, I was contacted for an HR call where I was asked fairly standard logistical and behavioral questions. I then moved on to a technical interview over video call.

The question was related to playing a unique card game and lasted about 30-40 minutes, with no behavioral questions.

For 15 weeks, I received nothing about the job and assumed I was ghosted. Out of the blue, another recruiter reached out, asking if I was still interested and explaining that I was continuing on to the next round.

This round consisted of a technical decomp question and a learning interview.

I had no prior experience in system design for the decomp question but managed to do alright. However, the learning interview was with another Palantir engineer, and his instructions were very unclear, leading to a lot of confusion. I didn't progress very far.

Afterwards, I received an email stating I would not move forward. I'm assuming it was from my poor performance on the learning interview, but I received no explicit explanation.
