Process
I received a HackerRank assessment followed by a recruiter screen.
The recruiter was 10 minutes late and began by saying, "Okay, let's run through this."
I was asked two questions:
- Tell me about yourself.
- Tell me about a time you had to deal with tradeoffs.

Fast Learning, No Growth
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States

Pros: You do get a lot of responsibilities fast, so it can be good for learning on a first job.
Cons: There is close to no career progression (monetary or level) at Palantir with additional responsibility. Very little control on what you get to work on as a new hire.
