J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Anduril (Seattle, WA) en janv. 2025
Entretien
tl;dr coding interview was vanilla javascript/es6 class, then I was asked to put it in a framework
Initial call with recruiter in December, technical coding interview in January. I don't want to share the specific question because then they might change it, but it's extremely similar to one that was already mentioned here. Here are things I imagine they would not care if I shared:
First, the initial interview with a recruiter was somewhat generic - she gave me an interview guide that looked like LeetCode, but then the coordinator sent me an interview preparation document that made it look more like a frontend test. It was the latter. No CodeSandbox, it was HackerRank. I was asked to make a component in JavaScript from a blank document, then the subsequent question was to set it up in a framework of my choice (Vue, Angular, or React).
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Create an es6/javascript class with three specified functions, then set it up using a framework like React
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.
