Positive experience

Easy interview

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Linthicum, MD) in Feb 2022

Interview

One 10 minute screening call with HR. One 30 minute zoom call with functional manager, a senior lab member, and technical manager (who ended up not joining). Incredibly easy, even so I kind of stumbled over my words a lot, but still got the offer. Granted, this was 2022 when everyone was printing money and labor market was extremely hot.
