I interviewed at Palantir as one of their "front line" developers in London.
The office looked like they had taken the concept of a hamster cage and scaled it up for human usage. The recruiter even said people like to hang out and stay late for dinner.<p>The interview was super hard and didn't really tie up with the expectations of the job.<p>Needless to say I didn't pursue the application further.
It seems like they are staking most of their future value on Foundry, which according to the article does away with the need for meaningful FDE support for integrations.<p>Does anyone know what the "secret sauce" is for Foundry? If we were to assume the USG/Gotham business is worth $10bn, that would mean Foundry-related business is worth ~$30bn if the whole company is in fact worth ~40.<p>What is the killer use case for Foundry? What does it do, that competitors don't, that makes it worth so much? And to what extent are the current success stories actually stories of the product succeeding without FDEs?
