Application
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Dec 2014
Interview
Phone call with an analyst that lasted about 20 minutes. Mostly behavioral stuff: why Palantir?
An HR rep had sent over a link to their website so the interviewer asked me if I'd seen any of the videos on the website and which one I liked the best and why.
What it was about the role that excited me. asked about some things on my resume.

Question 1
Nothing terribly difficult, my interviewer asked me what was the most difficult part of what I was doing at the moment.
Apply online. Setup an interview time. Listen to a long story about how great Palantir is then get hit with an irrelevant probability question. Give general background about what you do and expect some condescending remarks and questions.

Interview
Standard interview: spoke with recruiter who then passed me off to another individual who was in the same position I was applying for. He was very uninterested and asked behavioral questions. After he asked me the probability question, I answered wrong. He blew me off and asked if I had any questions for him.
