Sincere request to HN readers. If you have ethics, try to avoid working for Palantir. Palantir is an unethical company. They were involved in the HBGary scandal. They tried to smear Glenn Greenwald. They might have the best and hardest interview process and may have the smartest people. But all these technical wizardry is moot when they don't have ethics.
