I was given my interview itinerary for an on-site with Palantir and one of the interviews is an “existing code base” interview where they’ll give me access to a Java code base and ask me to make some change. Has anyone else done this before? How hard was it? What should I expect?
They will show you a codebase with some tests that fail. Your task is to make them pass by identifying and correcting bug(s). They want to see how good can you dive in a piece of code you don't know
How is TC at Palantir? (L6 eng manager)
I’ve a web crawler code base of about 600 lines and multiple test cases to fix. I can send you that if you wanna practice.
Yeah that would be great!
Could I get that as well?
Sounds like free consulting work
