I was initially contacted by a recruiter, then was introduced to the person that was going to be interviewing me via email. The interview process was horrible to say the least. The interviewer was young, new to the company, and had no idea how to hold a proper interview. He/she asked me if I held a position similar to the one I was interviewing for....when that was the first position listed on my resume--I doubt they even looked it over. When it came time for me to ask my questions concerning the position, I began to ask technical questions that I thought were appropriate for the position.This would show that my technical skills aligned with the role, and Palantir actually advises you do this to show you have interest. The interviewer stumbled on words, and was unable to answer my questions--technical and generic. After about a week, I received an email from my recruiter saying that I wasn't technical enough for the position. Really? I'm not technical enough even though the interviewer couldn't answer any of my technical questions? Yea...I don't think so. 2 Do NOT waste your time with this company. After reading all of the reviews on here, I thought that it wouldn't happen to me, but low and behold Palantir sure did deliver.

I noticed that Palantir were opening in London and was really keen to join the company. Unfortunately they didn't have any mid-level positions and so I applied to join their Op's team. Palantir pride themselves on their confusing job titles and the position was essentially one of 'packing up computer gear and sending it to various destinations, like Afghanistan'. I submitted my CV and was invited for a phone interview, which I took with a young guy based in their Palo Alto office. When I asked about career progression he seemed quite offended and stated that everyone was really happy in the jobs they already had. After that I received a "Dear John" email.
