There is absolutely zero chance that he was rejected in 30s based on ethnicity. No matter how unethical you might think a corporation might be, none would be stupid enough to implement a policy so obviously illegal.

I am guessing he was already in the queue to be rejected, but they wanted to capture the demographic data first.

I have zero sympathy for people applying to a company known for doing shady things for Governments.

No. The demo survey is the last piece of the application process. Once completed your application was finalized, processed, and the rejection email is sent.<p>If they ask the demo questions before interview it is likely to lead into accusations of bias.<p>Now, if pushed to court, they will have paper to backup that you were rejected at stage X, before the demo survey was sent.

I'm sure Palantir wasn't explicitly doing this - the blowback would be far too severe.<p>Although, I am hugely cynical and always "decline to identify" whenever I'm asked.

Consider yourself very lucky. They dragged me through a month worth of interviews and wasted so much of my time. I wish they would have rejected me aftet 30 seconds.

How is this excusable again? My only consolation is that this will eventually backfire due to them not hiring based on skill.

Doubt anything associated with Thiel is rejecting based on "male", especially for technical positions.
