Pros

Large Company, lots of different opportunities, flexible work hours

Cons

Tuition Assistance is being capped @10k per year beginning in 2020, IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND PART TIME GRADUATE SCHOOL, DO NOT WORK HERE. Employees were told this 1.5 months before 2020. So if you want to get any sort of masters degree while working, be prepared that it will take 4-5 years to complete. I understand tuition assistance is a benefit. With that established, other companies (Boeing Raytheon etc.) Offer much better tuition assistance options. Many younger employees (myself included) are very frustrated with Northrops tactics and advise younger employees to choose somewhere else if you ever think of attending graduate school.

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.
