J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Palantir Technologies en juin 2011
Entretien
Initially contacted by a recruiter, who set up a phone interview and sent some information on the firm. Consisted of 3 phone interviews in total, each 30-60 minutes. After each interview, the recruiter would contact me about a week later and set up another phone interview. Each interview consisted of standard interview questions about the resume, current role, and level of interest in palantir. They also would ask what strategy i would use to introduce the software, as well as ask a brain teaser. Following the 3rd interview I recieved a form rejection email the following day.

Phone interview -> in person interview -> in person interview -> founder interview.
Standard non-programmer tech questions. Less focus on brain teasers and more focus on reading and understanding data (they brought in papers with charts for me to read and interpret). The (last) founder interview actually has a fairly low pass through rate, so don't think that meeting the founder = offer.
Only problem was entire process lasted a few months for me - you need to stay on top of the recruiting department (through your referrer most likely) to keep the process moving quickly.

I applied online and received a phone call a few weeks after I applied. The whole process took probably around 9 months-- many, many interviews, usually around 8PM EST, with various people. In total, I had about 8 interviews, not including the final site visit. Each of the interviews were a little draining, consisting of about half an hour of getting-to-know-you type questions to determine if I was a jerk (their words) and then half an hour of engineering questions.
After months of phone interviews, they flew me to Palo Alto, where I had a full day of interviews with a variety of people, to include lunch with potential co-workers. The final two interviews of the day were with the two founders.

Question 1
Any of the engineering questions, like, "If you had a client who wanted to measure the water speed in the Potomac, how would you approach that?" Google-style questions.

Several conversations over the phone, then 3 interviews on site. Very positive experience, kind people. interviews did consists of a few brainteasers, as well as how to apply the platform yourself, so make sure you understand it. Also just your standard motivation questions and affinity with technology.
