Is Palantir still cool? Last I heard, they were doing the McKinsey model but for data. What's the TC and career progression look like?
They were never cool
This is the only cool palantir https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palant%C3%ADr and they tried to ruin it
Palantir is like the company Keanu reeves worked at in the matrix. Dystopian, never cool, attracts the most toxic corporate assholes with little shred of empathy. I’m glad it exists it’s like putting a warm compress on a wound - draws out the pus into the tissue that is palantir.
Palantir does cool stuff. If you’re woke though, it’s probably not cool. Just like if you care about the environment, you don’t work at amazon, or if you care about privacy you don’t work at Facebook kind of thing.
Yeah last week it was hot - the ac was not working and now it’s cool as it was fixed
Pro: strong impact Con: that impact could be separating families and putting children/people in concentration camps
A company with blatant racist hiring standards is definitely not cool
They have racist hiring standards? How?
There’s been plenty of news coverage on the DOL racial discrimination lawsuit against Palantir. They settled for $1.7M. Here’s one older article with the background. https://paloaltoonline.com/news/2016/09/27/palantir-charged-with-discrimination-against-asian-applicants “For the software engineer position, Palantir received applications from 1,160 qualified applicants, about 85 percent of whom were Asian. The company hired 11 Asian applicants and 14 non-Asian ones. The suit states that the odds of this result occurring by chance are roughly one in 3.4 million.”
I’ve thought about it, but I think working at Palantir would only damage my image, especially in SV

Why some people are more successful than the other?
Nah spying on innocent Americans isn’t cool
Spying on North Korea is ok with me so there’s a line somewhere
Isn’t that your business model though? Color me confused
