Product Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - Palo Alto, California
Process
The recruiting process was long and involved too many interviews. I believe I exchanged over two dozen emails with them in total.
Several phone screens were conducted.
There was one online skills check.
An onsite interview followed, which took all day.
Additionally, there was one further video interview.
Questions
They asked me to debut a system that was working incorrectly because the documentation had been copied through Microsoft Word. This program had converted a double dash into a long dash, which broke the terminal commands.

Culture is fantastic.Cons: The role for PRE is one that requires you to be “on call” at odd hours, which makes work/life balance difficult at times. Also, Palantir is not for everyone ethically. Make sure you read up on what they’re actually involved in. They’ll pull you in by telling you they need good people on the inside, but ultimately you’re working on the software that powers wars.
