Process
First there was a phone interview with a hiring manager, they really tried to see if you wanted to work there, then a technical interview round that I failed. I forgot about what else was after.
Questions
They asked why Palantir, and you have to give some BS answer like, oh, I think the stuff Palantir does is ethically appealing, etc. :|
