I received an email from the recruiter after applying, he was very responsive except for a 3 month gap when the position had already been filled, he then reached out to me for an interview as soon as an opening was available. The interview went by very smoothly and the recruiter made it feel less of an interview and more of a one-on-one meet up which was very comfortable. About two weeks later I had emailed the recruiter again and he verbally let me know I had gotten the position, 3 days after that I received my offer letter.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is a challenging experience you had with your team?
Very chill, around 30 min, mainly went through my resume describing experiences, what I would do differently, and summarizing my work. They also asked basic get to know you interview questions and left time for my own questions. I only have 1 interview in the process before I got hired for an internship, but the process may differ from each team. It seemed more like checking that I did everything I said on my resume rather than testing my ability.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman
