Pros

Nice people locally but it is not enough if your family well-being is threatened.

Cons

Tricky benefit policies - they would not tell you in front, but after several months of coming aboard, I have been told that I cannot have under my med insurance my wife of 20+ years because I refuse to share with them our income tax statements. Our marriage certificate, common children, church wows, wedding rings, etc. do not matter - the only proof according to them is the income tax we filled. This has been unheard of with any of my previous employers. No respect for our rights and privacy. I no longer desire to work for a place that treats employees with such disrespect. They have no right to demand to see our tax statements. All the salary raise I gained on accepting this job will disappear once I have to buy separate insurance for my wife. I am currently in negotiations with my previous employer to see if I can come back and forget the nightmare they put me through in NGC.

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. They .ake working for Northrop Grumman the best.

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, so even if you are at an NG official office, they consider that "remote". 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.
