Pros: Smart co-workers, a fast-paced environment so you never get bored.

Cons: High expectations for taking on a very heavy workload. lol.

Pros: Strong benefits package, great products, smart colleagues

Cons: The culture is best described as ultra-competitive, gossipy, and toxic. Team members are constantly vying for advancement at the expense of others, resorting to deceit and backstabbing to climb the corporate ladder. Trust among colleagues is virtually nonexistent, as individuals are willing to throw others under the bus to save themselves from potential layoffs. Folks don't perform best under these conditions, and I see a lot of burnout on my team. Additionally, there is a serious underrepresentation of women and minorities within the organization. I have not seen or heard of any efforts to improve diversity and culture. I would caution anyone considering employment here to carefully evaluate whether they are willing to tolerate such a toxic and unhealthy work environment.

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.
