Senior Staff Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A very "modern Bay Area"-style interview. Lots of skipping over the realities of what they're building, in favor of focusing on how much money you might be able to make. I'm sure this will appeal to plenty of talented folks, but it did not appeal to this individual.
I'd hoped there would be some assurances around murmurs I'd heard that Anduril was an actual defense company, as opposed to an offense company that'll be selling to the highest bidder in whatever warzone has the cash. Oh well.
