Pros

In addition to working within a culture which promotes high performance and quality, everyone is always working with the customer in mind. My co-workers are all extremely intelligent and I'm constantly amazed with how much I can learn from each of them.

Cons

Like many large companies, it can sometimes take an extended amount of time to get equipment (laptops) and software and IT support can be a nightmare.

Pros

Northrop has good education benefits, the best pay of 3 companies I have worked for to date and the management (at least here locally) really cares about the individual and will do what they can should a contract expire. The company and mangement get involved to try and move you to another contract if possible.

Cons

The higher corporate execs get into the weeds sometimes and make decisions that seem to be detrimental to winning business (future contracts). They seem to view higher profit as a top priority versus a dollar earned today is a more than you had yesterday. The divisions in NG compete against each other to the detriment of a project. Twice I have seen a contract lost because 2 different divisions were unable to work together for the good of the contract because they both wanted to protect their own piece of the pie. So instead of one division agreeing to allow the other to "manage" the project, they were like 2 seperate companies bickering over their fair share which led to the award of the contract to another company at the next option year.
