Pros

Good PMO support. Knowledgeable managers keep the focus on job performance. Able to shift and realign resources as needed when it was convenient.

Cons

Transition between projects was lacking and sometimes not helpful in finding new challenges and work assignments. Severe restrictions in bringing in new projects led to frustration.

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.
