      Not for everybody

      Pros

      -Pay -Good Company to have on resume -Great Network of professionals within the company -Coworkers were very helpful -Work/Life balance. They kept to the 9/80 schedule and paid OT

      Cons

      The management here was the downfall for me and was ultimately why I left Northrop. My lead would ignore all attempts at communication leaving me with no direction whenever I had questions. My manager was not any better, they were very snarky and constantly talked down to their employees. Another con I realized while at Northrop was the lack of community and culture. Everyone sticks to their areas and projects which makes the area feel introverted and didn’t foster collaboration.

      Rigid Bureaucracy; Disrespectful Management

      Pros

      If it weren't for certain members of my contracts team who had supported me and showed me the ropes on how to handle my position as a contract administrator, I would have quit a lot sooner than I did.

      Cons

      My manager and I did not get along. My worklife under said manager became filled with dread due to unceasing micromanagement, and constant reminders from that person of how inadequate I was for the position. (Never mind that I had almost a decade of experience in the aerospace and defense managing contracts before I joined NG.)

      Not as good as it looks on paper, if you are a new college graduate, go for a different company

      Pros

      Work-Life Balance: 9/80 Schedule is a plus

      Cons

      -I was so happy when I got the offer letter from this company. I have been with this company for almost 10 months. Now when I think about it, this company is really different from what I thought. No career growth, there isn't a proper team structure, management keeps hiring people when they are running low on work. On paper, they follow an agile/scrum team but in reality, most of the teams run like the wild west. - Management really don't care about you -They don't care about your career growth -They promised relocation benefits but they didn't give it to me even when I qualified. - A lot of incompetent people work in this company
