I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Aug 2018
Interview
Started with a recruiter phone screen. She was late to our calls by 15-20 minutes consistently. Moved on to a technical phone interview, again caller was late. A week later the recruiter followed up with an on-site date. They covered transport/hotel/meals. Had 3 in-person interviews. No lunch was provided even though we were promised lunch and were there all day. Another week later the recruiter followed up saying that they cannot continue. I do not understand why there were such long delays when the recruiter had said they would have feedback ready the following day.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why choose Palantir, what about tech interests you, how do you use AI in daily life, etc.
Just the pre-screen behavioral round, was asked: why are you choosing to get your master's degree, what classes do you enjoy, what are you looking for in an internship? Seemed like just a deep dive on my interests, didn't even ask why palantir.
