Colloquio
Contacted by recruiter via call and text. Recruiters worked with me to schedule a 30 min Skype interview with a member of the team. The recruiters were nice enough and helpful.
But WOW was the team member unprofessional!
He couldn't make our original scheduled time; I found out via the recruiter (not the interviewer) that he had to reschedule 5 minutes after our scheduled time. During the rescheduled interview, the guy didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge the rescheduling. I get it -- meetings come up last minute. But to lack the basic decency to say "my bad" speaks volumes about the team's values.
Toward the end of our interview, when I so much as gave a hint that I was done asking my questions, he followed up with an immediate "okay bye" (hangup). So sorry to bother you with my interest in your company bro.
My advice to the Operations and Strategy team would be to re-evaluate who you have screening your candidates and how they are representing your team.

Basic antiquated strength/weakness/etc questions. Final question was "Tell me the names of your last two managers. If I called them, how would they rate you and why?"

Colloquio
Recruiter contacted me via LinkedIn, and after a brief dialogue, he scheduled a Skype interview with a person on the team. The interview was about 45 minutes long, during which the interviewer walked me through what being on the team is like, some of the problems they solve, and the long hours they put in.

Colloquio
Phone screen was brief but cordial. Questions were around interest in Palantir and going over my resume. First proper interview was about a week later. The interviewer asked only two questions about my strengths and weaknesses. No questions about how I solved problems in the past, or how I would solve hypothetical problems in the role. Few days later they sent a rejection email saying "we do not have a position that is a strong match for your qualifications at this time." Surprising assessment, since I wasn't asked any questions about my qualifications. In September, the US Labor Department sued Palantir for discriminating against Asian candidates in their hiring process. Then all of it suddenly made sense.
