Hello, What does Palantir look for in potential Deployment Strategists? I’m interested in pivoting to product in the future. Would this role as a new grad help me achieve that?
I would say palantnir is probably the most technology advanced company in the consulting industry. However, it is still consulting and cannot change the way it is. My suggestion is to find a serious software engineering company elsewhere if you can
I would argue that although there’s undoubtably high tech consulting-like work being done, there’s also a lot of pure software engineering work being done as well. Personally, I find it one of the cool things about the company. I’m a SWE on our commercial platform and I plan and implement backend features all day. Doesn’t look remotely like consulting. The company is working on getting more scalable and requiring less and less custom dev for each client.
For non-New Grad they look for min 6 years of experience. I know someone with a Data Science background who works as a DS. Keep in mind, the role is pure chaos. They have little to no process, and you'll be doing everything, not just comms. The benefit is that you do highly impactful work and get to travel all over if that's your thing.
Would this role prepare me for a PM role at say FB, Google etc?
They all look for different things. Google wants you to have an Eng background. Facebook doesn't care. Palantir wants you to be okay with travel and able to get a Secret Clearance.

Strategist? What are you, marshal paulus? Where do they come up with these job titles
Titles are made up to attract naive millennials. Job is sh**ty though.
Based on what sources of information do you say the job is shitty? Just curious as I am in the interview loop for this position.
