1 informative phone screen, 1 technical phone screen, 3 onsite 1-hour interviews. After two of the on site interviews, you have a lunch with an employee who lets you ask and answer questions about the company. The phone interviews are what you'd expect from a technology company. The on sites were a mixture of coding challenges and automation and testing theory.

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.

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.
