What you get
Because Palantir is run by software engineers we have a unique perspective on what software engineers, testers, and other technical staff need and want. We focus very carefully on finding very good people, and consistently helping them improve. Training, knowledge, and tools are core to that.
Because we know that people are individuals, we don’t mandate specific hardware and software, and instead provide each staff member with their own budget to spend as they see fit. Want a particular mouse? Get it. Want to get a great monitor? Get it. Want a hugely expensive laptop? Save your budget for a couple years and get it.
Training is a must, and every person is expected to fulfill certain amounts of training each year, based on a training plan worked out with them. Some of the training is specific to their role, and some is specific to the industry. We also require that all our people study and complete the Registered Persons Exam, CAIA, Claritas, or CFA in order to demonstrate their knowledge of the financial services industry.
