I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman
Interview
I was flown into San Jose, CA from NJ all expenses paid for flight, hotel, and rental the day before my interview and allowed a $50 per meal per diem. That was the nicest part of my experience by far. The management group showed up 30 minutes late, asked me 3 questions not pertaining to the position and then placed an exam in front of me. I finished the exam, took a tour, and they said they would be in touch. I declined an option for a second interview when they reached back out because I would never want to work for a company with that attitude towards potential employees.
