Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
Hard leetcode, did OA, then phone screen, then technical. The recruiter was very nice, the OA was quite decent/okay. The technical interview portion was pretty hard. Talked about why I wanted to work for Palantir; make sure you say you are okay working at defense companies regardless of ethics.
Questions
It was hard with parsing through stocks or something, had to use a 2d array.
