Palantir Software Engineer interview experience

The process began with a basic recruiter call, then an OA, followed by a first technical round that already felt like a moving target. I had to do decomp and debug in the interview flow.

The final technical round combined coding and behavioral questions. The journey had a coin-flip quality: it seemed possible to be solid technically and still not proceed, or to perform roughly and still advance depending on how the evaluator weighed the work. The rounds were hard enough that small misses mattered.

I did not reach an offer. The rejection felt less like a clear statement about ability and more like fit and decision-making could be random even after competence had been demonstrated.

Location: New York, NY. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
