What it's like to work for the Valley's most secretive startup, Palantir
Palantir was cofounded by one of the Valley's most powerful, and most colorful, VCs, Peter Thiel. With Thiel's backing, Palantir has raised nearly $2 billion in investment.
As of late last year, investors valued the company at $20 billion, making it the third most valuable Bay Area tech startup behind Uber and Airbnb.
But Thiel himself may have valued the company at far less, $12.7 billion, Buzzfeed recently reported. And despite a reported $1.7 billion in revenue in 2015, Palantir may not be profitable, Bloomberg reports.
And it seems that Palantir is now experiencing a higher rate of employee turnover than it has in years gone past, though its cofounder and adviser Joe Lonsdale argues that turnover is still less than 10%, on par with typical tech companies.
So here's a closer look at what its like to work at Palantir these days, based on employee reviews from Glassdoor, posts on Quora, and other sources.
