Be ready to be on your own

Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Former Employee

April 6, 2018

Pros: Salary is great, benefits are amazing, and they pretty much pay for everything.

Cons: The counterpart to having everything paid for you is that Palantir acts as if they own you and expect you to be working 24/7. Also, very little direction is given, and you're expected to figure things out by yourself from the get-go. And god forbid you ask for help, as you will be seen as weak and inefficient. It's a soul-crushing place that does not see workers as humans but merely as code monkeys.
