      Pros

      NG still maintains a pension program along with a 401k (100% matching up to 4%). Pay is reasonable (competitive) and the location can't be beat.

      Cons

      Raises are predictable (3-5% based on performance). They award a 2-3% bonus each year to avoid giving out larger raises. The facilities are average at best. Vacation starts at 12 days and only improves to 15 days after 10 years, 20 days after 20 years. Recognition is infrequent and usually insignificant monetarily.

      Pros

      Prestige.....name recognition. Employment with the company can lead to other opportunities within NG. Policy is to promote from within the company ranks first and then hire outside the company if vacancies still exist.

      Cons

      lowest bid contract doesn't allow for much time off.

      Pros

      The same as many of its competitors, Northrop has decent early compensation and an acceptable benefits package. Education reimbursement especially has been a significant boon for me. Management is interested in carrying forward good ideas, and has processes in place to empower employees. In such a large organization, however, certain groups often are marginalized.

      Cons

      The defense industry is always rising and falling with the contracting decisions of our government. Right now, NGC is doing a phenomenal job capturing contracts, and much of this can be attributed to some strong leadership at the right levels. However, not enough is being done to solidify these gains.
