I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Rolling Meadows, IL) in Dec 2016
Interview
I interviewed at the Rolling Meadows, IL campus for a Systems Engineer position in the Professional Development Program (PDP). There were three interviewers. I think two software people and one systems person. Overall, the interview went well with limited technical questions. The main focus was how I interacted within a team and my previous experiences working within a team. They did ask me general questions about my masters thesis, which was the extent of technical questions.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Portsmouth, VA) in Dec 2018
Interview
The interviewers were very courteous and ask very good questions mostly about how I communicate and work on a team however after being informed that they are going to make me a offer after the Christmas shutdown. I was told that they had cancelled the position and reallocated other resources for this position. I am very disappointed with the way the process was handled post interview.
