Palantir - NYC REJECT

I interviewed at Palantir in New York City for a Software Engineer position. The interview process consisted of a phone screen and an onsite interview.

The phone screen involved a question similar to the Leetcode problem "[Leetcode Problem Title]". I proposed a two-pointer approach and discussed how to handle queries with multiple words using a 2D matrix approach.

The onsite interview consisted of three rounds. The first round was a system design question where I discussed database types and load balancing techniques. The second round involved a problem related to stock holdings, which I solved using a hashmap. The third round was a debugging round involving a graph problem. I was unable to find the error initially but was able to solve it after receiving a hint.

Unfortunately, I was rejected after the onsite interview.
