I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Trenton, NJ) in Feb 2020
Interview
Initial phone screen with manager where we discussed my experience/history. He asked me to put together a technical presentation, which I presented the following week at a panel interview. Presentation took up half the interview, they liked it, asked a few more questions regarding FEA, and that was it

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Process took a little while. Submitted resume on-line, also gave it to contacts currently working for NGC. Took a while to hear anything back. Not sure which path got me in.
Phone call with recruiter first, then hiring manager 1-2 weeks later, then heard back about in person interview after another 1-2 weeks. Original interview was scheduled 2 weeks later, but I was able to get it moved sooner because I was considering another offer. Recruiters are easy to work with and they try to help you out.
