Software Development Engineer Interview Experience
Process
I submitted my resume to a conference database. Palantir contacted me based on this and asked to hold an interview at the conference.
The woman who interviewed me was very nice and explained that she was a tester, which is the job I would be interviewing for. This was mostly a behavioral interview with one technical question at the end.
I received an email stating they would like to hold a phone interview. There were two of these before I received an email that there were currently no openings for people with my skills.
The gentlemen who interviewed me on both occasions seemed nice. They asked me different testing questions, such as:
- How would you test software for a keyboard?
- How would you test an elevator?
- How would you test password software?
Questions
How would you test an elevator in a three-story building?
