I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Applied with a referral and heard back within a few days. Did an informal chat with the recruiter and within another few days she emailed me to inform me that I'd be moving forward with the technical interview. The technical interview was one hour long, and I was given most of that time to solve an upper-level, leetcode medium. Although I arrived at the brute force solution in short time, I was unable to implement the optimized solution in the time that I was given. I think that although I had prepared pretty hard for the technical interview... I had JUST fallen short of where I needed to be. Next time, I'll be sure to prepare just a little harder/longer.
