Palantir QA

Got rejected twice after applying to QA position without screen or interviews. Just a standard email. Does anyone know what secret sauce they use to look at applications? TC:275

It's the school you're from. They usually won't like that You need to be from a Top 10 CS school

Sad to hear that OP. If you got rejected before any interview, it's most likely that many candidates were interviewing for that position and they closed the opportunity. Joined a few years ago, and they definitely don't care about school, just interview performance. We have quite small teams, and prefer to properly on-board new joiners instead of having an army of new hires doing toy projects (wink wink AWS).

No sauce, only humans do resume review. Won’t claim it’s a perfect system by any means but no keyword salad or special unlock needed
