Pros

- 9/80 work schedule - Decent benefits

Cons

- Your recruiter might not tell you about the relocation benefits even when you qualify for it - The rotation structure isn’t that compatible with the business model they are following - The Pathways Program(early career) program just sounds and looks good on paper. It is a very disorganized program in real life. - They keep changing the structure of the pathways program but they seem to not understand that its the basics they are doing wrong. - There are engineers with no projects (work) in the company but they keep on adding new employees. - When looking for your 2nd and 3rd rotations some of the hiring managers didn't hire me just because I am a pathways engineer. I have been told, " we don't want pathways, if you quit pathways, I will take you in". Hence, some hiring managers don't take pathways seriously.

Pros

The people you work for directly are wonderful professionals. They listen and truly work together as a team, sharing their ideas and critiques freely and fairly. Even the managers, leads and program mangers are the best I have worked with in a while. They .ake working for Northrop Grumman the best.

Cons

The Csuite are not as inventive and very risk averse. They cry about needing to keep talent and keep the knowledge base from being lost. But when a program gets canceled or stop work, if you arent at one of their main work sites like in Dulles or Gilbert, you are out of luck now with their push of no "remote" work. And by remote that means not at whatever site the managers are at, so even if you are at an NG official office, they consider that "remote". And it isnt the managers choice either as the corporate pushes them to deny "remote" or make their lives miserable if they try to keep current employees that could fill the role at other offices.
