It's hard to take Palantir seriously when its primary interview questions for a decently technical role are brainteasers and uninquiring questions. The recruiter asks a series of brainteasers on varying levels of difficulty. Fortunately, I happen to sit around memorizing them. Not really, but I do love brainteasers so onto the next step: an HR person from Palantir then schedules a phone interview with someone in the role. The phone interview was very dry. This is where the uninquiring questions are from. For example, I was asked what superpower I would have if I could choose only one. The interviewer even said that people usually take a minute. Seriously though? I did not even hesitate and briefly explained my choice, but he did not probe further. It was kind of fun because I was testing the waters now. I was curious if they would dive deeper, as I did not see how the answer could have been something like a STAR-method response in the first place. Nothing. Overall, the interview was barely about Palantir's work and I did not learn much that I didn't already know from reading the news. These questions neither reflected on experience nor competence as an employee, unless Palantir has plans to use people's imaginary superpowers. I did learn that salaries are capped and when busy, the hours are very long. Motivation for growth here already seems plateaued.
