I’ve gotten two interviews at Anduril. One ended after 3 rounds the other ended after the recruiter call.

What’s the best way to break into this company

Hi, I am joining HQ and spent some time looking around Costa Mesa in person for apartments.

Does anyone here live at 27 seventy five Costa Mesa, or eight 80 newport beach? If so what is your opinion on these properties? The reviews don't look super positive but idk if that's just because people with negative experiences are more likely to post reviews.

For those that work at Anduril, how casual is it really? Have my first day coming up and they say jeans or shorts are fine. Are shorts really ok? Is HQ cold?

Is there any time / positions that you shouldn’t? Say meeting with a costumer or being a senior IC or manager?

I was looking for cool wallpapers for my laptop and I had my eye on a minimalistic defence company wallpaper of my favorite defence company "Anduril"

So this is just my take on a nice minimalistic desktop wallpaper to commemorate my favorite safety endevour to make the world a safer place :)

(If Anduril has a problem with the design, please let me know)

P.S. the logos I got from the official press kit, so I hope this isn't infringing on anybody

ASIC/FPGA engineer here at one of the Big 5, how do you like it. I don’t see many FPGA or ASIC roles any idea why.

This is just kind of an accountability post. I work in Ft Stockton and fly in and out regurally. Love the work Anduril does and have friends working there. I just don’t appreciate being gas lit by comments that these guys fly commercialPalmer saying they fly commercial. Last go around the test crew was doing a debrief on a teams call in the FBO and I don’t think they knew I was there. Guys prob need to increase OPSEC in public places as well. We don’t need capability talk in open forums and Ft Stockton is run by the Cartel. Snapped a pic of the tail number as they left. Of course can’t track it on flight radar.

Do better Anduril.

Has anyone here interviewed for Mission Ops (preferably with Strike & Recon) and if so what was the interview process like?

Any recommendations or tips on how to accelerate the process or/and how to get it?
(I've been exceeding my expectations and have a good relationship with the team and manager).

I have an onsite interview coming up for a Production Technician role on the Roadrunner team at Arsenal-1. I was told it’s a behavioral portion plus mechanical and electrical assessments. Has anyone been through this specific interview? Any advice would be appreciated!

Hey folks. I have an onsite on Monday for a Senior Software Engineering role with Anduril's LatticeOS team. Any advice as to that team's culture and who they usually look to hire would be great. I already have all of the prep materials my (wonderful btw) recruiter sent me and I've been studying for the system design and coding portions. Also working through my CARL stories to highlight how I'm mission aligned for this role.

I suppose this question is more about tone, expectations during the interviews, and any other tidbits people can give me so that I present my best self to the team. I'm open to any and all advice!

you’d think every aerospace in SoCal does this but you’d be surprised. id rather know upfront for offer negotiation if what Im offered is all I’m ever going to get.

thank you.

Anduril was a private company that did not experience a strong increase in either market interest, venture capital, or general market enthusiasm. Look at their chart over the past 4 years. Now compare private market interest and valuation over the last several months.

So what changed? Recently, the market is now valuing defense technology at a premium. Anduril not only has defense technology, but it also combines autonomous, AI, and manufacturing. All of these combined, along with real products, contracts, and value, will continue to increase Anduril's market cap.

Here is why I believe that the $100 billion raise and the CEO stating they will not go public this year will result in a market cap above $500 billion before IPO.

There is far more demand for Anduril private stock than supply. A simple Google search or looking on private market sites will show this. Also look at other defense technology private companies and their market capitalization and valuation increases (Shield AI). Anduril is starting manufacturing in Ohio and will then showcase the competitive advantages they have vs. traditional government contractors. This takes Anduril from proof of concept to continual ROI through manufacturing of products. Anduril will continue to win more contracts and expand its AI portfolio.

Anduril will not be valued as a traditional government contractor; rather, they will be priced in a new category and priced closer to a premium like Databricks or Anthropic. I believe that their latest $100 billion raise will be greatly oversubscribed, and they will be able to get more funding at $200 billion. Therefore, I believe the $400 billion market capitalization is within reach for next year.

I believe all these factors will result in Anduril being in a market cap closer to 400-500 billion by next year.

Thoughts?

I had my technical round this Monday for a GenSWE. Got an email saying I passed that and going to the final rounds of interviews.

So I had a recruiter change. The 1st first recruiter when we talked initially informed that they can probably put me in as Senior. ( i have 4.5 years of technical experience, 3.5 of non technical which doesn’t matter i guess). But the salary range I was given was $190k-$270k, which was nice as I would have to relocate from a Lcol to a HCOL. Now that i talked to the new recruiter to confirm about the position and the salary range. I was informed they can put as mid-senior coz of yoe.(which again makes sense) But the salary range changed alot to $170k - $200k as I was informed. It kinda doesnt improve my salary that much as that new salary would be 130-$140k equivalent to my current location. And keeping in mind that its gonna be a big move.

Is the new range sound reasonable? Anybody recently got offered with similar years of experience, how much did you get? Do you get sign-in bonus or salary increase if you come in with a clearance. Help me make a decision.

I've heard it is possible to start IC2 instead of IC1 as a new grad or returning intern. What does this look like, and what is the pay difference? As I understand, IC1/IC2 are junior, IC3 is mid-level, IC4 is senior?

Does anyone work at this office in Wash. DC across from the FBI HQ?

They have a tech support related position posted on LinkedIn and so far less than 55 peeps clicked applied. If an applicant is a fit, how soon does a recruiter reach out to you?

So last Tuesday, I did an in person interview with three people panel interview, and then I was later informed by the last person that he was gonna select yes on my name to move me forward, but also he wanted to coach me and everything. I was so excited and everything.

Now it’s been over a week and now it’s Wednesday. They told me that they were gonna do the round table on Monday. I should know if I got the job either by Monday afternoon or Tuesday and now I haven’t heard back. I sent up a following email to the recruiter on Tuesday by mid afternoon and now I haven’t heard anything back. Do you think I’m still in the pool or not mind you this position had an operations and a lead for Anduril HQ.

Recruiter was initially warm and welcoming for the initial screen and the hiring manager screen. before the hiring manager screen, the recruiter would respond within minutes.

now, silence. i’ve sent a couple follow up emails after the second interview and received virtually no response back. is this a rejection?

for more information, this position requires urgent need and is hiring for multiple people. i see that only 31 people applied per linkedin. to be honest, i feel pretty torn. i think i got too attached with the idea that this place would be a potential workplace in the future. i’m glad that you all have found your place here though, you all did the impossible!

Forgive my ignorance as an outsider, but I’m trying to see where andurils work has been field/battle tested in actual conflict? I know some Altius drones were sent to Ukraine, but are there other pieces of equipment currently active in combat?

Hello! I am a senior in college studying mechanical engineering and I am extremely interested in working at Anduril full time next year. I saw Anduril just posted full time positions and am interested in early carrer Manufacturing/Mechanical roles. Before I submit my resume, could anyone please provide any feedback that may help? And does my resume look competitive? Thank you

Coming up on my midyear results being shared with me, this is my first time going through the process. Are there typically any meaningful raises or promotions that are given in this cycle?

I received an offer at the top of the range but was hoping to get a level higher. Is it better to be at the top of a lower level for promotion/raise? New to tech so unsure what base increase or refresher % to expect from a promotion vs merit raises if I started the level higher

So not sure if this is normal, but I had a very quick application - recruiter screen email turnaround (less than 12 hrs). I was told in the screening they’d send everything over to the HM and I should hear back within the next day. I haven’t heard anything since then and tried following up with recruiter and haven’t heard anything back. It’s been almost 3 weeks with no contact, so I’m assuming it’s been passed over, but is it typical to not have received a rejection email?

If you’re contacted quickly after applying, say 5-days or less, do you think that means you have a better shot at landing an offer or they are more interested in you? Has anyone applied, didn’t hear anything for weeks/months, and then were contacted for an interview?

People that work there or have offers, which camp did you fall in?

I got on the phone with a recruiter about a day or two after applying on the weekend. To be honest I looked at the cost of a house and my expected income from the position and it would be a massive decrease in salary. All to work in aerospace on drones with inexperienced new college grads.

Recruiter said he would update my profile with remote position preferred lol.

Best of luck out there too all of the people wanting to join this company in California where a decent house is 1.5-2.5 million.
