Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia
Process
I attended an employment fair held at my university and met with representatives from Palantir. They asked me to fill out a questionnaire which consisted of questions on Java programming, algorithms, and internet technologies.
After that, they requested that I send my resume and transcript. A few days later, the coordinator arranged a phone interview for me.
There is still another phone interview this week. Good luck to me :)
Questions
They asked me something about databases which I haven't used for a long time, so it is hard for me.
