Pros

Some very nice people to work with.

Cons

Too many layoffs in the past seven years. High paid old Litton employees holding positions that require college degrees, but old Litton employees have no degree at all. Very poor management and too top heavy. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Diversity is making the company work quality and efficiency weak. Company is overwhelmed with meetings. No company stability. No new business in Apopka, FL. Would not recommend.

Pros

Big company with a lot of opportunities to move around. You can get experience in many different functional areas without leaving the company. Great resume building company. Respectable name with the opportunity to learn several different skill sets in a short time.

Cons

ALL about hiring to increase "diversity"... Regardless of if the individual is qualified or a good fit for the job or not. This may be true in every Company this size right now, but benefits have taken a major hit across the board the past few years. Health Insurance is getting extremely expensive with less coverage. Hard to get materials you need to do the job. Lots of red tape and executive management approvals for even smaller cost items like computer monitors or projectors. Runs a matrix management type organization, so functional groups create and implement processes and procedures to allow their matrices to look good without considering what it does to other stakeholders in the organization. (Puts a bandaid on a problem rather than finding the root cause).

Awful career choice

Pros

The best thing about working here is that you don't have to do ANYTHING to be successful in your career. 90% of the people who work at Northrop Grumman show up, shut their office door and wait 9 hours... then go home. Actually most of them only wait 7 hours before sneaking out the side door. Of course, everyone claims to work SOOO many hours. They are truly raping the government and your hard earned tax dollars.

Cons

Management blows. 90% of the employees could qualify for mental disabilities. Offices are unclean and full of animal infestations... I actually once saw a raccoon in my cubicle. No joke.. I came in very early one morning and the raccoon was sifting through my trash can looking for food.. I was shocked. I eventually tamed the raccoon and now own it as a pet.. As much as you can "own" a raccoon.. They really aren't family friendly. I found that out the hard way.
