These are the interview steps:

• Hackerrank
• Karat interview
• HR call
• Onsite
• Hiring Manager

Hackerrank: I skipped this step because a recruiter reached out to me.

Karat interview: Karat is a third-party interviewing platform where interviewees are connected to and interviewed by Karat software engineers. The interview began with a 5-minute introduction, followed by 10 minutes for three time complexity questions, and 45 minutes for as many Leetcode questions (typically mediums) as possible. I was able to solve two questions, which was sufficient to advance to the next stage. The interviewer was very pleasant, but they were strict with time, so be sure to keep that in mind.

HR call: This was a typical HR call with behavioral questions.

Onsite: There were three 1-hour interviews back-to-back. You will have one Decomp (similar to system design), one Learning (where they teach a new concept they believe you haven't encountered before), and one typical Leetcode question (medium-hard).

Hiring Manager: This was a 1-hour interview, split evenly between behavioral and coding. The coding question was a Leetcode medium-hard.

Overall, the interviewers and recruiter were very friendly and responsive. However, the interviewing process is quite exhausting.

Q: Access rights question - you can find on Glassdoor.

Q: A lot of questions about my resume.

Q: Typical behavioral questions (Why Palantir? Meeting deadlines? etc.).
