Applied online was invited for a phone interview about a week later. They interviews are scheduled on Pacific time, which is fine with me, as it allows greater leeway for me (EST) to take calls after my own workday is done. The recruiter and I arrange a phone interview for later that week at 6:30 eastern/ 3:30 pacific time. That afternoon, the recruiter emails me to explain that the person I was supposed to chat with is actually in the New York office (to which I applied anyway) and can't accommodate the prescribed interview time after all. To me this was a huge oversight on the part of the interview coordinator, but I really want this job so I agree to postpone the interview until the same time one week later, when I will speak to someone else. When the hour of the phone interview finally arrived a week later, they didn't actually call me until 45 minutes after the start time. The interview went okay for the most part, but the interviewer was really rushing through to make up for the lost time (which is their fault). Part of the company's instructions for taking interviews is to prepare lots of questions to ask, but in his haste to get through the call, the interview only let me ask a handful before saying he had to go. I didn't exactly feel like I was set up for success. The content of the phone interview was pretty broad. We talked about my background, how I found the position and why I want to work at Palantir in general. Things got kind of hairy when he asked about my tech background - for a non-technical position - and my answers clearly didn't impress him and his Silicon Valley expectations. I thought that was kind of unfair because, again, this was for a non-technical position, and the person in the role would mostly be using the company's proprietary systems. It's not like I needed to bring that skill with me to the role. Also, he asked an extremely vague question that was meant to reveal my business intelligence skill: "If you had to put together a report on a company, where would you look for that information?" Ok, well what what kind of report is this? What kind of company? It was awkward because, again, the person in this role would use the Palantir platform to perform this BI research. But of course that can't be the answer I give since it's not true. The next Monday I got an automated email from the company saying that "there are no positions suitable to your background." Not terribly surprising looking back. Overall, though, I was less than impressed with the company's professionalism and my experience didn't exactly debunk any Silicon Valley stereotypes.
