I had the phone call with the recruiter and went great in my opinion. I was rejected right after without a technical interview. I’ve been in Google and Microsoft before so I have an ok resume. A friend had the same experience. any ideas on what could’ve happened?
Palantir is weird. My interviews there went seemingly well, questions weren’t very hard, got to an extra onsite with HM that seemed to go very well. Then got rejected. I’ve heard similar from a few other people. Palantir only has like 500 non forward deployed SWEs total so they’re actually very selective and hard to predict, unlike FAANG.
I always do great on screening interviews but I think my white boarding sucks bc I always got interest from FAANG but never made it through second round
Oh boy will have second round with them soon I’ll see what happen
Had a similar experience with a comparably sized startup. Interviewed well through multiple screening, went to onsite, hiring manager seemed determined to find something I didn’t know so he rapid fired questions at me cutting me off when he knew I had the answer until he finally got to one I stumbled on then drilled me on it for about ten minutes. Was rejected shortly after. Joke’s on them, I took a FAANG offer and they’re still trying to fill their original position.
I got rejected by palantir twice. Funny thing is that the second time around they asked me the same questions. One of the guys even recognized me. The hotel they put me in London was bomb though https://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/st-martins-lane.en-gb.html
I’m there right now ☺️
@yaaaaaa, are you a FDSE? How are u finding it
Most common reason for rejection at the phone screen is that based on what you’re looking for, the recruiter doesn’t think you’d be happy here. Palantir (even SWE) is a pretty weird work environment compare to FAANG and definitely isn’t for everyone.
I told recruiter I am not a fan of government contracts. What are my chances? lol
What’s weird about the work environment?
Were you specifically going for SWE over Delta? How did you answer questions that were Palantir-specific?
Your phone voice is annoying?
