Pros

Good projects if you find good manager.

Cons

Rampant Dishonesty and Employee Manipalation. There are sadistic people that do nothing work wise but spend time destroying others due to severe narcism. The HR is easily manipalated by the lower managers that all work toether to hurt people if you try to stop the dishonest people. It really is pathetic actually how much rampant dishonesty exist. People that are intelligient and sharp go to work there but the dishonest people are so rampant that they leave immediately. Those that report any wrong doing will never ever work in federal government again. Most of the people in charge are the children of other Northrop employees, Judges, Senaors, etc. whom have no training or common sense. Typical Northrop projects are just throwing bodies at projects stealing money from US Government.

Pros

- Big company so there's always opportunity within the company for career change - They have offices at desirable locations (San Diego, Los Angeles) - Work life balance is good. I never had to work weekends during my 6 years here. Most do 9/80 work schedule but depending on the program, you can work 4/10 work schedule.

Cons

It gets very political when it comes to promotions and raises. You rarely get compensated for working hard but rather on your *behind kissing ability. They have people at the manager positions with no credibility or skills, but for knowing the right people. I get that it's part of the corporate world but this company goes a bit over the board with politics. I've worked for other defense contractors and politics isn't as bad as here. I don't know, but I think having too many Asians at the company creates this weird politic culture (I'm Asian myself), That's just my guess.
