Anduril

• Large amount of ownership.
• Fast-paced.
• Lots of smart people from a good mix of backgrounds.
• Compensation is competitive.
• My opinion is always valued.
• An insane amount of freedom in equipment usage (any operating system, IT is there to help you succeed while keeping you secure).
• Incredibly little red tape.
• Focused on an in-office environment and the benefits that come from synchronously working closely with others.
• The food is really good!!
• Small enough that you can make a significant impact as a single person still.
• People actually take vacation.

• Long workdays at times (but it’s often up to you to decide to work late).
• No hand-holding; figure it out, or you aren’t going to make it far here.
• If you’re looking for a super remote-friendly ecosystem, this is not the ideal company.
• Infrastructure for software is lacking, which can cause frustrations at times, especially if you’re used to larger companies with mature ecosystems.
• Since lots of people are engrossed in their work, lunch banter doesn’t happen as often, and many take short lunches.

More participation and opportunities with cross-team activities would go a long way. There are so many exciting projects and people to share knowledge with!
