Palantir Work Experiences
3.0
Believed in the company, but not so much anymore because of its mistreatment of employees
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
September 13, 2023
Pros: Fast-paced, very smart coworkers, and overall, the opportunity to grow is quite amazing.
Cons: No 401k matching, no bonuses, and no compensation increase with promotions or title promotions. Long work hours.
Life as a Forward Deployed Engineer can be technically unfulfilling. It took 2 years for a company-wide compensation review to happen, and only a fraction of the company got a raise then.

Good People, Low Salary
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Cons: The salary is not up to mark.

Intense, but management will let you down
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
December 11, 2023
Pros: The company is really positioned well. The core flexible ontology concepts in Foundry and Gotham are incredible tools in an AI-driven world where a simple schema isn't enough.
There are also lots of great and really motivated people here. Conflict is rare, and the company manages to maintain a feeling of constant urgency. You're always working on the most important thing.
Cons: You always have more work than you can complete, so you never get to feel done.
Management is largely engineers that have been promoted up, but it ends up feeling like no one knows what they are doing at the management level. Management has a knack for not communicating, so you often get different stories and have trouble putting together the truth.
For a long time, folks were strung along with promised raises that never came.
Company policy changes almost on a dime. Everything is focused around constant change, and mature products are looked at as chores to get rid of; nothing gets to be finished.
