Anduril Software Engineer Interview Experience: automated recruiter messages and essays

A recruiter contacted me with a message that looked AI-generated. I asked to speak with a real person, but each reply returned to the same automated tone. She eventually gave me a "role" that also felt automated, apparently tailored from my resume and describing a city office I knew Anduril did not have.

After more back-and-forth, she said she would put my resume in the system only if I wrote three essays about my skills and working philosophy. I did not complete the essays, and I ghosted. The recruiting motion felt more automated than human, and it left a sour impression quickly.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
