Pros

Anduril is a company that will give you many opportunities for high ownership. You can walk your own path, as there are many, and drive huge amounts of impact across a multitude of teams and products. This is a great company for those of all experience levels to grow their skills. If you'd rather be siloed in your work, or work a cushy 9-5 while *not* being given ample opportunity to experience and learn from many failures and successes, then this is not the company for you. If you're someone who is highly autonomous and can execute on their work when required, this is your place - we'll quickly recognize these traits early on and it'll be worth it. Come join us, we're building some insanely cool stuff - and we're only expanding upon new areas to explore and experiment with.

Cons

The hours can get ridiculous at times and it does not always come without cost. The compensation model is not competitive, that's not to say the upside potential won't be ridiculous in a few years. We definitely cannot compete with top tech companies when it comes to cutting offers.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Extremely talented workforce. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies. Fast-paced environment with meaningful work. Opportunities to learn like you wouldn't believe.

Cons

Heavy reliance on tribal knowledge in some areas. Documentation and standardized work instructions can be limited. Some processes depend on experienced employees rather than formal SOPs and travelers. Learning curve can be steep for new hires.

Pros

Great pay for the most part, and the engineers are awesome.

Cons

When something is too good to be true, it’s too good to be true for a reason. I would not accept this job on contract unless you are unemployed, don’t consider it if you are employed. The company is growing and having leadership level changes in the TA realm and boy you can tell. Your job is NOT safe on contract and is not a guarantee to go even 6 months. Everyone is extremely lax and chill on the interviews and the pay is great isn’t it?? Well that’s alll a facade, no matter if you’re doing well or not.
