I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
Total interviews: 8 (including phone and on-site)
I didn't find the interview questions especially tough, as long as you thought creatively. I had a few interviews and then lunch (which I think was a "culture fit" interview, to be honest) followed by a product demo and then more interviews.
If they like you, they let you stay after the product demo to do more interviews, and everyone who is hired interviews with a founder during their on-site day.
Honestly, it's pretty stressful/long, but not unbearable. Everyone seems to know it's a long day, and offers you breaks, drinks, and snacks constantly.

Question 1
How would you describe the Palantir platform to your grandmother?
Interviews with different team members to scope the role and assess team and company fit. Mainly communicated with the hiring manager. A few weeks between each call. Calls done via zoom then was invited to office for a in person interviews Not via recruiter.
It was straight forward. 4 rounds. Did an analysis on one company and how to best reaching out to the company and the sequence you are writing to get a meeting. One of the question was sell me a pen.

Question 1
Nothing much CV based questions, just research on the company. The interviewer was a bit friendly
