The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Nov 2022
Interview
I had an email to schedule a technical interview with Karat for a software engineering internship. The interview was conducted by an external company called Karat, and it was recorded and then sent to Palantir for review. Unfortunately, I did not pass this step of the hiring process and I didn't receive any details on why. While it's disappointing, I'm grateful for the opportunity and I'm going to continue to work on improving my skills so that I can succeed in future interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interviewer asked me about the time and space complexity of different algorithms using various data structures like hashmaps and binary trees. I also had to code algorithms based on descriptions and examples that were provided. The interviewer didn't give me much help, but I was able to use Google to search for information
The process included two phone screens, two technical rounds (one DSA and one learning decomposition), and a hiring manager interview. They had my email wrong, so I kept getting notified only a day before interviews, which really sucked.
