Coding Technical Behavioral
I had to do this coding project on Palantir Foundry to show I knew the platform. It was like building an ETL pipeline and was a take home assignment that I could take a few days to do. Then I had a technical interview with a manager, and after that a behavioral interview with a Principal. They were pretty easy, just talking about why you'd use certain tech, stuff you did before, and problems you had.

Technical
The interviewer seemed uninterested in my introduction and immediately jumped into scenario-based questions about Azure Data Factory (ADF). Despite my 2+ years of experience, they expected answers suitable for someone with 4+ years of experience, which was quite disappointing and demotivating.

Technical Coding
First, there was a brief introductory phone call. Then, I completed a Python test and an English test on an online platform. After that, I had a 30-minute chat with HR, followed by an interview with a Manager and a Technical person. Finally, if everything goes well, they'll make an offer for the position.
