Pros

I've been here for around 9 months and so far things have been easy going. I was terrified that it would be extremely stressful like how I felt when I worked for a small tech company, but to delight it hasn't been that way. I can only recall 3 events where I felt stressed. 2 of them were preparing for demos. The culture here is friendly, work is interesting. You get to work from home. Nobody micromanages you. You get a free gym membership if you work at building 8 / 8a. Flexible scheduling between 9/80 and 4/10. If you don't like your current team or your role you are free to move around without having to do interviews with other teams.

Cons

Some people don't like it when it's too slow paced but I do. At some of the buildings, they could use some furniture upgrades. Hard to grasp the leadership structure since it's such a huge company.

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.
