Pros

The Northrop Grumman name is respected and established throughout the defense industry.

Cons

I would NOT recommend working out of the Rancho Carmel San Diego office in their Configuration Management group. There are too many cons to list. Myself as well as the majority of my colleagues had an extremely negative experience working here. Low morale in the group due to inefficient management practices, (some) toxic coworkers in cahoots with management, nonexistent HR, no room for growth even though we had qualifications and years of experience in this job function, hostile work environment, little to no training at the onset and throughout our time here, etc. There is a lot of turnover for a reason. Many of us were desperate to leave and jumped ship to other companies as well as other internal departments. The worst part was dealing with very aggressive management that made us feel uncomfortable and at times unsafe in the workplace. I am astounded at my experience here and hope anyone who considers working there will read this first.

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.

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. 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.
