What to Expect in the Palantir Technologies SWE Interview Loop

The Palantir Technologies SWE interview loop is very structured. Each interview follows an almost-rigid format to assess you across very specific technical and leadership skills. Here's the process:

  1. 1. Recruiter Screen

    Evaluation of technical background and interest in building high-impact software for real-world problems.

  2. 2. Technical Phone Screen

    1-2 rounds of coding and problem-solving, focusing on algorithms and technical trade-offs.

  3. 3. Technical Online Assessment

    Real-time coding challenge focusing on code efficiency and correctness. Important: most candidates *either* get the OA or Technical phone screen, but you can potentially get both if you don't clearly pass the first.

  4. 4. Onsite Loop

    4-5 rounds covering advanced coding, system design, and the 'Learning' or 'Decomposition' round.

    • Behavioral

    • Coding

    • System Design

    • Decomposition

    • Learning

Not sure yet when it comes to what my big takeaways are as this was my first mock and it was helpful albeit unorthodox (in a good way).

I genuinely felt like I was in an interview. Afterward, he made sure to tell me exactly what I did correctly and what I needed to work on. I'm doing my interview today and feel much more confident than I did before the mock interview. @coach - Thank you for your help again. I'm heading into my interview today and will stay confident even if I don't know the specific answer.

This was a really helpful session! My coach provided clear, relevant advice, had deep expertise in system design, and was very friendly and easy to talk to. We even went over time, but he made sure all of my questions were thoroughly answered.

Thank you so much; it was a great experience. I really appreciate the feedback and I do believe it was great practice for my interview. Honestly, probably better that it didn't go well as it gives me solid points for improvement. I will be sure to incorporate the feedback and be ready for the real thing.

Overall super useful and informative, no real advice on things to change. Mapping my performance directly to the 1-4 point scale and which aspects pointed more toward 3 vs. 4 was especially useful in terms of helping me figure out what to focus on between now and the actual interview Had a relevant question ready for the mock interviewWas engaged during the mock interview; struck a good balance between letting me figure things out and asking questions to either probe my understanding of a certain topic or guide me in a useful directly. Explained how real interviews at the company were evaluated. Gave actionable advice on how to improve given remaining time before the real interview

Thank you so much for conducting this mock interview, *******!  First off, I want to say I had a lot of fun tackling the problem and I really liked the structure of the interview. I also really appreciated your context about how each part of the on-site may go, as well as some helpful tips/tricks for handling the decomp, learning, and coding. I also really appreciated the structure of this interview as well as the critical feedback you've provided me.

I really enjoyed the session and hearing all of the tips and tricks to keep in mind for my upcoming interview. My only feedback is to maybe ask the candidate if they want to split the session with a general advice portion and mock interview, or to just focus on one. I would have liked to split the time up a bit more to cover at least a small mock interview, but there was unfortunately not enough time. Other than that, I really enjoyed our discussion and learned a lot!
