The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (New York, NY) in Aug 2023
Interview
Excellent, full of great conversations, and smart people. They will expect you to think critically and respond to constraints on the fly. The best thing that you can do to prep is practice solving different kinds of problems with a repeatable, reliable approach (i.e. map out constraints, broad overview of solution to satisfy all constraints, visit constraint or requirements individually and try to optimize your solution.)
Other Forward Deployed Engineer interview reviews for Palantir Technologies
I had behavioral interviews and then 4 in person interviews. The behavioral was straightforward. There was also a data query interview where they taught you a new "language" and had you execute basic queries in it. Then there was a system design interview. I had two of these. The last one they asked me if I was deployed to the moon to identify new species of alien what kind of system would I build.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial recruiter screening followed by a technical interview with an engineer. The technical round focused primarily on LeetCode-style coding questions and problem-solving. The recruiter was responsive and the interview process was straightforward.

Question 1
What is a technical project I have worked on recently.
A recruiter reached out to me and has the initial screening. Then the recruiter reached back to me after 3 weeks. You just have to wait for the recuriter to reach out to you. It could take some time.
