palantir

[fleet frost]

wait wtf im not the only one??? 😭

is learning round just cursed

[grim lantern]

Do you know what the whole process is? And any tips on the initial call?

[fleet frost]

just glaze palantir

have a good reason why youd choose palantir over places youve interned at before

they rarely reject at the initial call i think

[grim lantern]

But don’t negatively talk about your past experience right?

[fleet frost]

i mean i said stuff i liked and disliked for each

then said palantir basically combines a lot of stuff i liked from past internships

definitely do go all out talk shit about your past internships but i think saying stuff like you didnt like the vibe or the work dint fit your interestsis fine

[fleet frost]

the whole process is recruiters call -> 1h coding -> 1h system and product design kind of thing and 1h learning a new concept and applying right away (these two are back to back) -> hm

[grim lantern]

Like I wanna say how the mentorship program wasn’t the best and I had to do enterprise work, but I really enjoy working with really impactful tech and know the importance of a good mentor

Would that be fine?

[fleet frost]

honestly i cant really tell u because its very much a black box what they are looking for

i thought i did fine during HM but got rejected

[grim lantern]

And what is hm? I know it’s hiring manager

But idk what it entails

[fleet frost]

its behaviourals and technicals

sometimes only behavioural

but i think most people here got 30min of each

[grim lantern]

Is it the worst of your previous rounds

[fleet frost]

yeah

for me it was learning

[grim lantern]

I think I’ve heard that somewhere

Oh ok

[fleet frost]

cause i blanked out lmao

[grim lantern]

Learning is the new concept one right?

[fleet frost]

yeah

[grim lantern]

Is that more coding or just system

Looks like it’s coding. But I’m confused what’s the new thing. Guess It’s gonna be something like a new class or function and use it for other code maybe

[radiant flume]

Learning is complete bs half the documentation in my round for 2 functions was either straight up wrong given the interviews desc of its functionality or INSANELY misleading absent more context

[fleet frost]

its like debugging existing codes

[grim lantern]

Can’t u discuss with interviewer about your doubts on the validity

[grim lantern]

You can choose Python?

[fleet frost]

yeah

its like half pseudocode tho

so i guess it doesnt really matter that much

[radiant flume]

Yea but there are continual followups and I ran out of time one of the functions in particular was completed fucked up based on the desc it wasn't even returning the correct shit lol

[fleet frost]

was it the first bug lmao

i feel like i had similar experiences

[radiant flume]

It was like the 3rd or 4th followup

I was so confused

[fleet frost]

i think i only passed VO cause i did decomp really well

learning was quite hard to me

then still failed hm

💀

[radiant flume]

They rejected me b4 hm😹

[fleet frost]

its impossible to get in this company bro
