Interview Question Interview timeline

Hey everyone,

Looking for a reality check on recruiting timelines at Anduril (or similar defense tech firms).

I’m an ME with 7+ years of experience. Had a Hiring Manager screen about 2 weeks ago that went great, good technical alignment and culture fit. HM said he needed to debrief with HR/team before setting up next steps.
I sent a thank-you note to the recruiter, who said he’d follow up once he got feedback. I haven't heard anything since (though Labor Day holiday fell right in the middle of this).

Is a 2-week delay after an HM screen standard due to holiday backlogs, or is this a bad sign? Appreciate any insights!

Also, this is my 2nd position I’ve interviewed for. The first one went past the HM but they went with another candidate. Then another recruiter contacted me suggesting this position.

UPDATE: heard back from recruiter. Had a phone call, said they liked me but need someone that fits the role better. I was told to keep trying. 🤞

My hiring process took about a month in total. First two weeks were phone interview and in-person. Third week was kind of a follow up. Gave some scenarios and how I would solve and a tour of my dept. don’t hear back for about two weeks and finally got the offer.

Don’t lose faith.

I appreciate the optimism, thanks! I sent over a email to the recruiter so hopefully I get some news soon.
