Pros

Responsibilities and opportunities given early on and up to you if you can perform and shine. Great support from managers and fellow coworkers. The opportunity to learn by doing and from others around you can be underrated. Work/life balance is great especially considering the 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off!). Opportunity of visibility is there (get to present your own analysis) and many programs offers the possibility of lateral movements to increase exposure within the company. Overall, a great place to start a career.

Cons

I'd say pay raises are below industry standards and benefits have been reduced over time. You typically need to put in your time to get up in the company...even though your performance speaks otherwise. Many levels of management and multiple bosses can get confusing and feels like there might be too many managers.

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.
