J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Anduril en févr. 2026
Entretien
Recruiter -> Hiring Manager -> filter DSA interviewer -> interview loop (frontend/backend/system/personality). Standard process.
Recruiter was fairly put together. The hiring manager was decent as well. Everyone was rather friendly. Their ability to competently assess me was not so hot. I absolutely scored perfect on that initial filter problem. I went all the way through to the end of the loop.
Their ability to assess me competently on that second DSA was poor. The interviewer got bogged up in details that would be acceptable to critique on a job that was very language specific, but not for the kind of position they had me interview for. I got a call from the recruiter and got good feedback. It's why I know how I did in that loop. I did well on everything else.
I don't think I'll answer the message the next time one of their recruiters reaches out to me. They are failing good fit and good engineering candidates because of over sensitivity to details that are inappropriate for what they're going for.
They are not on mission.

One technical leetcode style question for the first round. Following that was three rounds of technical questions, one focused on APIs, one was more conversational and focused on past experience, one was a leetcode style question with follow-ups.
Fast quick process! The team was very smart but unfortunately didn’t get an offer. The company is still growing so will definitely reapply in the future! Hiring manager was nice as well.
The process included multiple on-site coding interviews and a behavioural round. Interviewers were technically strong, but there were last-minute changes to the schedule which made things feel slightly unstructured. The technical interviews were quite intense and focused on performance under pressure rather than collaborative problem solving.
After the interviews, I received an offer, but follow-up discussions revealed a rigid working culture. Fixed hours, no overtime compensation, and no flexibility for remote work or working abroad were clearly stated. When raising concerns about work-life balance, the response emphasised embracing a “fast-paced and chaotic” environment rather than addressing flexibility.
Overall, while the technical bar is high and compensation is competitive, the culture felt misaligned with a sustainable work-life balance.
