What’s the latest about Anduril’s work environment? They’ve been pushing vibes-heavy approaches to recruiting like making videos sneering at remote work and highlighting how quirky Palmer is, but the last I heard it wasn’t a great place to work. When I start seeing PR puff piece journalism about a workplace to make it seem extra fun, they’re usually compensating for something (low pay, long hours, bad work environment) in my experience.

Apparently Palmer Luckey doesn't have an official executive role at Anduril? He's listed as founder. Does he work there day to day?

I don't think this is too uncommon. The last two startups I worked for had a founder who wasn't on the org chart but was very much involved.
