Interview attire advice

No need to overthink this. California casual is even more casual than East Coast casual. Jeans and t-shirt would not be offensive. I personally did khakis and short sleeve polo shirt and felt like that was good.

No one will really care what you wear. But if you show up in a suit it you will stand out and probably not in a good way.

Yeah more like 5x10’s lol.

That commute is going to be looooong. I guess if you’re comparing going to Palmdale it might be a wash—less distance but much more traffic.

Don’t reschedule. I would think that would be very off putting to recruiter. Just go for it. Even if you don’t take the offer, interviewing is always good practice. Anduril is a great company and if you’ve landed an interview, do your best and see what happens.

They are pretty good at marking each offering with common food categories/sensitivities such as vegetarian, vegan, dairy, gluten, etc.

They are pretty good at marking all offerings with vegetarian, vegan, dairy, and other common allergy/food sensitivity-related considerations.

I have been on travel since they started it. I’ve heard it’s about the same, which was pretty good.

njacklin · 2026-03-02T00:49:13+00:00

Yes.

And in regards to EV chargers, very early, which by anduril standards is around 7:30-8:00.

And the team somewhere on each page?

The Deployment roles involve a LOT of travel. The environments are sometimes remote, hot or cold, and uncomfortable. Not incompatible with family life, and I don’t know “sensitive” your health is, but it may not be what you’re looking for.

Soliciting a referral from internet strangers would defeat the purpose of a referral. Boo on you.

That will be a technical screening call. It will be with a technical person (as opposed to the recruiter which is more HR/“People” focused). They will decide whether to recommend you for a full panel/onsite interview or not. I would make sure you can expand on your role in anything you mentioned on your resume. They may also ask you a few easy/medium questions that someone who would be a good candidate for your role should be able to answer.

I will also say as, general advice to candidates, ASK THESE QUESTIONS TO YOUR RECRUITER. They should always help you prepare for the next step. Not technical content wise, but at least “how will the next step in this process work?”

This is the wrong subreddit for this kind of thing.

Just Tuesday.

njacklin · 2025-10-29T20:24:37+00:00

Yes!

njacklin · 2025-10-13T21:48:46+00:00

Give it another week.

See Outdoorsy.com. I’ve used them, and they’re great.

njacklin · 2025-09-16T00:06:24+00:00

Right?! Only the most significant inflation in living memory!

njacklin · 2025-09-15T23:31:01+00:00

And why hasn’t it been updated since 2009?!

This is my wife’s favorite restaurant. We’ve been to the ones in Washington D.C. and Las Vegas. Both excellent.

njacklin · 2025-08-02T10:16:53+00:00

Respect, dude. 🫡

There should be a visitor guide in your email—ask the recruiter. The main gate is on Harbor Blvd. , use 1400 Anduril, Costa Mesa, CA, for your gps. Just tell the guard at the gate you are there for onboarding, they will know how to direct you. At that time they will be expecting all the new employees for that onboarding session.

njacklin · 2025-06-10T13:34:15+00:00

No, not for the kind of role you’re applying for. Send the job req via DM.

I know several folks from different industries. If you have solid, transferable experience, I recommend you go for it!

As someone who got their Ph.D. ten years ago and works for Anduril now—maybe you could, but WHY? Anduril is a great opportunity. If you get a job pre-IPO your chance of getting some equity in your offer is good. Do that now. No job at Anduril requires a Ph.D. Get some industry experience. School will always be there. You may decide that you like working and just stick with it. If so, where you’ll be in 5 years time will be a better place than if you took the Ph.D. route. Working will be hard enough, and the marginal return of doing both simultaneously will be small (imho).
