The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Manhattan Beach, CA) in Jun 2008
Interview
The interview process began with a couple of phone interviews. The hiring manager was very courteous and understanding the sensitivity of interviewing while on the job. A follow-up interview was setup to meet the retiring manager I would be replacing. I decided to decline the position because offer me the kind of growth and learning experience worth the risk of switching companies. Northrup would have offered a promotion and a raise with same type of work culture as my current job. Both companies are laid back and has multitude of resource to develop as an engineer.
They asked basic Behavioral scenarios and a resume walk. program management questions. describe the engineering process and how you manage projects. any questions for us? I asked about the culture and promotion opportunities.
It was two rounds after applying - approximately one hour for each. The first round was with an HR manager and the hiring manager. The second interview was with a Senior Director level person in charge of the overall team.
