Software Engineer Interview Experience - London, United Kingdom
Process
Applied online -> HackerRank technical challenge -> Phone screen with recruiter -> Technical phone interview -> Onsite interview -> Interview with Hiring Manager
Onsite interview: 3 interviews
- Algorithms/data structures
- Decomposition (system design)
- Debugging (Given an existing code, fix some bugs)
Overall, the interview process was really good. I felt very welcomed by all my interviewers. In the final interview with the Hiring Manager (mostly behavioral), it was clear there was not a match between my interests and what Palantir is currently doing.
