Palantir
Back to ReviewsCurrent Employee Working in sales at Palantir's is the equivalent to working on a used car lot. Sales leadership, comprising non-sales-experienced engineers thrust into leadership, epitomizes the company's mismatched priorities. Palantir once proudly proclaimed a no-salespeople policy in its handbook until Wall Street's ridicule following its IPO exposed the facade.
The discrepancy between the exceptional software and the dismal sales environment is disheartening. Sales expectations, unveiled belatedly, demand the miraculous creation of fully-fledged opportunities within a month, every month disregarding the complexity of real-world sales.
Palantir's abandonment of marketing in favor of aggressive named account removals underscores their skewed focus. Failure to maintain meetings every 30 days results in open season on your accounts. The company's ruthless termination of salespeople who would be put on a pedestal at any other company reflects a toxic atmosphere of perpetual job insecurity.
Even those lasting until month 11, despite a 12-month sales cycle, are axed days before their stock vesting. Palantir's touted 6% commissions reveal themselves as illusory, as "deal captains" hijack your earnings. Questioning policies leads to swift dismissal for newcomers.
The sales environment mirrors a despotic regime, fostering fear and disdain. PLTR is for you if you’re motivated by constant fear of unemployment
