I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Anduril in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview for this position consisted a leetcode-esque problem which, of course, I did not study. I told them about the trade-offs of real-world scenarios of build web applications. Nonetheless, all they cared about was whether I could solve the problem. If they think this is the best way to assess software engineer, I fear for the future of Anduril's engineering.

Had one interview, an hour long. Got asked to fix a data structure implementation (think tree or hashmap). It was pretty easy and chill. The interviewer was communicative and pleasant. Got a rejection after that.
