Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. Acudí a una entrevista en Palantir Technologies
Entrevista
Through On-Campus Career fair. They answered some basic questions about Palantir and its products. A week later I got an email from an HR personnel stating the recruiters from the career fair had forwarded my resume to them and thought had good potential for the role. First round was by the HR personnel and I was asked two questions: (1) how would you test a blender? (2) how would you find a repeating number in an array? I cleared this and was set up for a technical interview with a Product Quality Engineer. The interview consisted of two questions again (1) How would you test a website? and (2) Given a number how would you find out if it was a palindrome or not. The interviewer was quite nice and encouraged me when I was in going the right way. Third interview was rather unexpected. The interviewer questioned my interest in programming. Then asked me two questions (1) how I would make a server architecture for a dictionary, how many servers would be involved and what problems could be perceived, (and stressed on computer architecture for this case). I was also asked to follow up on the palindrome question, (2) given an array, how would you find the largest palindrome? with better efficiency?

Treated like a robot. Seemed like they had flown in a bunch of people from the US to do a round of interviews in London. Everything was very structured and they seemed pretty bored and not very engaged.
One thing that bothered me (having been raised in London) was that some of their interview scenarios involved software to "track the movements/phone call chains" of Mohamed or Ahmad or similar. Seemed a bit racist to me. I mean I don't want to work on software that is being built with bias already baked in at the interview stage.

Abstract questions like "How would you test a contraption that teleports matter?".

There were 2 phone interviews and 3 interviews on site before lunch and a demonstration.
The first phone interviewer asked what feature I would add to a vending machine and how I would test it. The second phone interviewer showed me some pseudo code and asked me to add a feature to it. They asked three questions onsite, one in each interview. The first interviewer asked me to pretend like the interviewer was an old grandma having trouble logging in. The second interviewer asked me how I would test a magic box from Calvin and Hobbes. The third interviewer asked me how I would deploy iPhones in Africa for education.
In the end I did not get an offer. They said it was because there was not enough communication in my interviews. I think with that standard, the only candidates they are screening out are the ones who are terrified of interviewing. For a company that prides itself on its technical talent, Palantir has very strange interviews.
