I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Sept 2011
Interview
Dropped off my resume at the university career fair, where was asked a string manipulation question. Got an email a week or so later to schedule a phone interview a week from the email. Phone interview was technical and was asked to code and go over my code. Fairly tough with lot of questions related to string manipulations and tree related question. Got a reply a week later saying hadn't made it.
Recruiter screening call, gauging interest. They were mainly interested in learning more about me, and how my expericnes may align with the role and company. Got the interview before any online assessment was shared, directly after a cold application.
After filling out essays on their application, I was sent an email outlining potential topics for the technical interview, as well as advice on preparing. The Interview was conducted with someone from the platform Karat. Was very smooth and the interviewer was very skilled, and they even offer a redo if you are not confident
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I do not remember, it was a leetcode medium problem though
Process was long and drawn out, with multiple different rounds of interviews. After the onsite, I had another interview with a hiring manager where he asked me even more technical questions.
