Be ready to be on your own
Salary is great, benefits are amazing, and they pretty much pay for everything.
The counterpart to having everything paid for you is that Palantir acts as if they own you and expect you to be working 24/7.
Also, very little direction is given, and you're expected to figure things out by yourself from the get-go. And god forbid you ask for help, as you will be seen as weak and inefficient.
It's a soul-crushing place that does not see workers as humans but merely as code monkeys.
Stop acting as if you're the best. If you were, you would not require devs to work 70+ hours and shame them for wanting to have a life and not just a job.
