Meaning and Opportunity
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Palo Alto, California, United States
July 17, 2015
Pros: In my experience, Palantir is perennially faced with more business than it has resources to staff, with the following results:
* The customers I've worked with and problems where I've engaged have been both challenging and meaningful.
* There is always a need for team members to step up and take ownership. No matter how new the employee, if you prove willing and capable, then you'll be given responsibility.
Cons: Hard, meaningful problems have real deadlines. Sometimes this means late nights.
In a lot of ways, growth at Palantir is empirical. As you prove capability, you will be given more accountability and ownership. There is no concrete promotion checklist, and your title won't have an increasing number next to it. This may make Palantir a poor fit for those who prefer that kind of structure.
