I applied online, had several phone calls with the HR. I then had a phone interview with another strategist and 2 interviews at the London office. I had to deal with three HR's in the process, it made it very confusing. I was told that I would need to fly to the headquarters for other interviews (to California). I then asked for a salary range for this position before making a 9 hour flight. They declined in a rude manner, suggesting that I was there only for the money and they were looking for 'motivated' people instead. I stopped the process. From what I know, Palantir is not a non-profit, so why can't I ask about the salary range?

They really want to get to know you throughout the process, and see how you think about data in different ways and how you solve problems. You have to build a product which takes a long time.
