Ho presentato la mia candidatura di persona. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA) nel mese di gen 2012
Colloquio
You're typically asked a series of brain teasers and given behavioral interview problems like dealing with a client. Depending on the scope of your role there is also frequently a coding section. Typically even if you struggle at the brain teaser they want you to continue trying. They also seriously value culture so it's worth trying to meet people in the company beforehand and mentioning why you might like working with those specific people.

Domanda 1
How do you code remainders in a language of your choice?
Phone interview -> in person interview -> in person interview -> founder interview.
Standard non-programmer tech questions. Less focus on brain teasers and more focus on reading and understanding data (they brought in papers with charts for me to read and interpret). The (last) founder interview actually has a fairly low pass through rate, so don't think that meeting the founder = offer.
Only problem was entire process lasted a few months for me - you need to stay on top of the recruiting department (through your referrer most likely) to keep the process moving quickly.

Colloquio
I applied online and received a phone call a few weeks after I applied. The whole process took probably around 9 months-- many, many interviews, usually around 8PM EST, with various people. In total, I had about 8 interviews, not including the final site visit. Each of the interviews were a little draining, consisting of about half an hour of getting-to-know-you type questions to determine if I was a jerk (their words) and then half an hour of engineering questions.
After months of phone interviews, they flew me to Palo Alto, where I had a full day of interviews with a variety of people, to include lunch with potential co-workers. The final two interviews of the day were with the two founders.

Any of the engineering questions, like, "If you had a client who wanted to measure the water speed in the Potomac, how would you approach that?" Google-style questions.

Several conversations over the phone, then 3 interviews on site.

Also just your standard motivation questions and affinity with technology.
