Pros

Pay is good if you negotiate hard and stay your ground. Benefits are good. That’s it

Cons

I decided to join this company based on the good reviews here but in reality it was the opposite. Management and leadership keep changing and they hire incompetent managers. The AZ side employees call the east NG employees to complain about their low salaries. AZ pay is the lowest. Cut throat culture and they take pride of working weekends and off Fridays. No work life balance and no real connections because everyone is looking for that promotion so no real friends. Leadership throws you under the bus if you lack knowledge about a specific thing instead of providing guidance. NG does not invest in 1 training class to prepare you for work, you either sink or swim! Also there was no diversity at all in my team and other teams which doesn’t match the values they try to claim

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.
