  Anduril Industries Software Engineer Interview Experience: automated recruiter messages and three essaysAnduril Industries · Software Engineer · Aug 2026

  Withdrew

  A recruiter contacted me unexpectedly with a message that felt AI-generated, and the exchange felt automated from the start. I tried several times to speak directly and move away from that phrasing, but it kept returning. She eventually sent a specific role tied to my resume that also read as though a bot had generated it, including a supposed office location in my city. After a few more chats, s…

  Anduril Industries Software Engineer interview experience: early recruiter screeningAnduril Industries · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Aug 2026

  Offer

  The process began with a quick recruiter screen that was mostly about logistics and conversation. We covered my background, past work, and interest in the role. Sometimes a small technical question came up. In one screen it was basic cantilever-beam knowledge; in another, there was no technical question at all. The recruiter also asked about fit and expectations, including team matching and motiv…

  Anduril Software Engineer Interview Experience: automated recruiter messages and essaysAnduril · Software Engineer · Aug 2026

  No response

  A recruiter contacted me with a message that looked AI-generated. I asked to speak with a real person, but each reply returned to the same automated tone. She eventually gave me a "role" that also felt automated, apparently tailored from my resume and describing a city office I knew Anduril did not have. After more back-and-forth, she said she would put my resume in the system only if I wrote thr…

  Onsite Coding Went Great, Then the HM's System Design Round Sank ItAnduril · Software Engineer · Onsite · Aug 2026

  Rejected

  This role was billed as fullstack, but the interviews barely touched anything front-end related. And the final round — I got screwed over by the hiring manager. The phone screen was on 4/17. After I finished it we just chatted. The next day HR told me I passed and moved on to the onsite (VO). VO Coding 1 Question 1: a simple calculator that only needs to support addition and subtraction.

  Anduril Software Engineer interview experience: HackerRank and ghostingAnduril · Software Engineer · Take-home Project · Jul 2026

  No response

  I started with a recruiter conversation that was kind and upbeat. Afterward, I received a HackerRank assignment, completed it, and waited. Then the process went quiet and I was ghosted. The positive recruiting call made the lack of any follow-up after the take-home feel especially abrupt. From what I saw, the broader process usually went from recruiter conversations to an engineering screen and t…

  Anduril Software Engineer Interview Experience: Mock application work and a project presentationAnduril · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  My experience began with easy coordination. Reaching the recruiter and scheduling interviews was smooth. From there, the questions were tightly connected to the actual job and how effective I could be in it. I expected a typical interview structure, but it had a stronger performance element than I was used to. I had to demonstrate my abilities through mock application-style work, not just theory.…

  Anduril Software Engineer interview: C++ screen and graph clustersAnduril · Software Engineer · HR Screen · Jul 2026

  I went through a familiar sequence: recruiter contact, a technical coding screen, and an on-site. In the Zoom technical round, we briefly covered my background before moving into C++. I had to read basic lines of code and explain pointers, references, lambdas, and move semantics. The second half was a programming challenge using depth-first search to identify node clusters in a graph. The on-site…

  Anduril Software Engineer interview: cantilever beam questions and a nontechnical thermal screenAnduril · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  The recruiter screens were brief and mostly light. Technical questions did appear, but not consistently. In a screen about mechanical design, I got basic cantilever-beam questions. A separate thermal recruiter screen had no technical questions at all, which made the experience feel somewhat inconsistent from interviewer to interviewer. I did not get an offer from this stage. It felt comparatively…

  Anduril Software Engineer interview: conventional flow and onsite concernsAnduril · Software Engineer · Technical Screen · Jul 2026

  I went through a conventional recruiter, tech-screen, and onsite flow. The questions covered data structures and algorithms, system design, and why I wanted to work at Anduril. The onsite was the main day, but the atmosphere did not match what I had hoped for. At one point, it felt like everyone was tired and the logistics were chaotic, based on how the interviewers talked about their situation.…

  Anduril Software Engineer interview: drone equations and a demanding onsiteAnduril · Software Engineer · Jul 2026

  After an HR chat, I had a coding screen that was closer to a simulation than a standard textbook prompt. I had to calculate drone-related equations, so pattern matching was not enough to rush through it. Passing that screen led to an in-person onsite with system design, a cultural or motivational discussion, and two coding challenges. It felt difficult because the formats required both technical…
