I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Feb 2012
Interview
Met with some recruiters at a career fair at my university. About a week later I got contacted for a phone interview. He asked me basic questions about data structures that I was able to answer, then I was asked one coding question that wasn't hard, but I was flustered because it was my first interview and took too long to answer it.
Interviewer was rude and talked down to me throughout the entire process.
Initial recruiter call easy, followed by easy OA/hackerrank with 3 coding questions. Live coding question was also fairly easy. Recruiter call is heavy on culture fit and vibes. Coding questions are around Leetcode medium/easy.
I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
After passing object oriented online assessment, I had a 20 minute phone call with a recruiter asking basic questions about resume. I was rejected 3 days later. He was nice but not incredibly engaged.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me what you liked and didn't like about your last experience on resume.
The interview process was long and well thought out. You had the opportunity to talk to many different individuals and they all spoke v highly of the firm. Each round has a unique quirk to it. They walk you through problems if you don;t know how to do it initially.
