What it's like to work for the Valley's most secretive startup, Palantir

One of the most prominent startups in Silicon Valley, Palantir, has been in the news a lot the past few months.

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.
