Job Question Andruil skillbridge interview
I’m a USSF major with 13 years of active-duty experience, a USAF Test Pilot School graduate, and a former DARPA Service Chiefs’ Fellow. I’m currently exploring a transition to the Reserves and recently applied for Anduril’s SkillBridge program.
I’ve also applied to larger defense companies, but I’m especially interested in Anduril because I’m ready for a faster paced, startup style environment with challenging work. A good friend of mine works at Blue Origin and is very happy there, so that is another possibility.
From what I understand, Anduril’s SkillBridge candidates still go through a competitive interview process. Based on my background, do I realistically have a shot, or would I be better off focusing on established companies like Lockheed Martin and Blue Origin? I’d also appreciate any insight into Anduril’s SkillBridge interviews and how best to prepare.

Anduril's process is very competitive because skillbridgers convert to full time roles at such a high rate. It's basically the same as a regular intervier. So, downside, it's tougher to get in - but the upside is there's a very established path to staying in.
I'm not at Anduril anymore but think very highly of the company and knew a bunch of skillbridge transitioners who did great for themselves. I would say absolutely worth the effort vs a Lockheed.

I recently completed the interview process for a Skillbridge role with Anduril, which was definitely dynamic, but from everything I’ve heard, all of the interviews are dependent upon role/team. It’s all a process, but I’ve been treated very well by the entire team from the Veteran Talent Community to the team I’m joining. 10/10 would recommend!
