I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Palantir Technologies in Mar 2014
Interview
Multiple Phone interviews. Final interview with field engineer where they asked multiple logic puzzle questions. Interviewers were full of attitude and doing happy dance to point out flaws/issues with your answer. Process definitely focused on adding more obnoxious, inflated ego consultants to their roster.
Interview questions [1]
