Pros

Management is clear about my assignments and makes sure I have things to do, as opposed to some companies who think it's my job to find work for myself. The work is what I expected and on target. Everyone has been very friendly here, no attitudes, no BS. The cubicle is fairly large and the office is quiet. I was able to get a faulty keyboard replaced easily. I can work from home as needed or take time off even with little warning. Though I'm a consultant, I was invited to the holiday party with my wife.

Cons

The guards are very overzealous about seeing badges, to the point that a guard checks my badge while I'm entering the internal cafeteria, and then the same guy stops me on the way out to check it again, like I got fired at the sandwich counter or something.

Pros

Mission driven, smart engineers who understand and believe in the mission. Low cost insurance compared to other primes. Great experienced resources across sectors. Big company with opportunities to transfer into different positions and sectors.

Cons

Only applies to the local site in Northridge. Chaotic, last minute changes. Leadership or leads are running it all to the ground and resisting changes to assimilate into Northrop grumman culture. Inadequate process/procedures, and resistant to positive changes for years has made the site unbearable. Worst employment retention as years go by and HR or leadership at top do not care. Most of the talent has joined other internal sites, other companies, retired due to burn out, stress and workload. Unkept promises, low or no raise and ok bonuses. Mass exit happening every week and supercedes the inexperienced hires being added. Corporate wants to change the site but the leaders and few legacy employees are fighting to preserve their toxic work culture. The very few who should leave are rude, unprofessional, bullies, protected by their leaders, HR doesn't care at the site level. Join other sectors and sites do not come here. It's mostly young inexperienced engineers and few legacy talent left. Learning is expected on the job, expectation can be impossible due to old inadequate policies, overwhelming workload wearing multiple hats.
