What does Palantir actually do?

I was approached by recruiter for a potential job opening relating to some data engineering aspect of Palantir. Wanted to know what actually they do? Apparently they don’t have much info online as well as what technology stack do they work on?

Went there for interview, pretty amazing. From black magic to semi witchcraft, you name it. But on serious level, they provide Saas as far as I know

They make software/services that analyze huge swathes of data. Applications include detecting criminal activity, correlating factors with effects and more. Read the Wikipedia entry on them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies

If you make it on-site, you will have an hour or so where they give you a presentation on what they do and different products/services they have.

Tons of misinfo about what they do. We basically build data analysis software and provide it as SaaS along with consulting to customize / wire it up to the client’s data sources and help them get the most value out of it.

Notably, it’s the client that is using our software to analyze data they already own. We don’t pull data from places and analyze it ourselves. Most client data is secured and Palantir employees can’t access it

Do you know what a Palantir is? If you do then you know what they do

Something about analyzing data you know

A two sentence summary would be: They maintain one product they built 10 years ago, which no one at the company currently understands. They’re desperately trying to build another product, but they don’t have a realistic vision nor capable engineers and a massive competition is coming.

What’s not realistic about the vision?

Expecting new grads to write working cloud and big data systems that took big players years to bring to a reasonable state. Expecting that a product solving only trivial aspects of data integration would win with what Amazon and Google are building. Finally, expecting people to do quality work when they’re not rewarded for outcome.

They sell personal data to the feds so they can deport poor people. That what they do. Shame on them

This isn't remotely accurate.
