I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Philadelphia, PA) in Sept 2015
Interview
A few short behavioral questions (Where I'm from, Why Palantir, Why FDSE).
Then, a long, relatively difficult technical question. I answered it first by writing some pseudocode on a whiteboard, then I was handed a computer to code the problem in a language of my choice. I was asked to explain my thought process as I went and was given hints if the interviewer felt I was stuck for too long. In the end I didn't end up finishing the actual program.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an nxn matrix of 1's and 0's, figure out if all of the 1's are connected.
Had a chat with HR and then a technical interview with an engineer. They gave some some quite normal leatcode type questions that I had to answer to continue to the next steps.

I have so far completed the 20 minute recruiter call, which was an easy behavioral. They asked me what I'm looking for in a job and what I do at my current role.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY)
Interview
Quick call with recruiter then technical interview. First call was easy, fit of company etc... Technical interview was leetcode easy and code walk through. Overall, much easier than what I had read online.
