Northrop Grumman Employer Reviews

Learned to use Oracle as it relates to Cost Accounting. I had experience in both the Military and Commercial areas of the Avionics business.

Very professional atmosphere and opportunities are present.

All of what I learned about applying engineering was because of the staff at NG who are very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The atmosphere was professional and friendly which was great for getting team work done.
Like most companies, NG had to grow with technology and processes which meant learning a new system about every 5 years. This took time – more...  and often got in the way of production. However management and coworkers are very understanding and tolerate. – less

I am really grateful to the guys at Lev Tech who got me this position even though the work was on its way out in six months the work and people I worked with were great. I learned a lot and enjoyed it very much.

When I worked at Northrop Grumman, I worked with a great staff in the auditing department. I performed financial, operational, and compliance audits for the company and met some great people.

My typical workday at Northrop Grumman was me welding ship structures with the uses of flux core and stick.

This Company offers outstanding with great leaders. Northrop Grumman offers advancements and raises, a great benefit package and life insurance. Additionally, they offer college reimburstments.

Day to day grind like most other jobs, no better no worse, undermanned but not according to management but all companies say that, not much else to say on that. It is more of a job than a career at this point. Top heavy management that listens very little to the worker bee but also again like that most anywhere. Co-workers are varied as the weather. – more...  Lots of projects that are bumped in on top of each other and from different areas without concern of the other areas that they may be affecting. Normal for IT I guess but seems worse than what I hear from other places around my town and area. – less

No one listens to the younger guys, even if you have a good idea that could save the company money. No information could be "sent up the line" reliably. Your ideas, if they were used, were twisted or stolen to be used by someone else, or my favorite politic'ed around to the point of being useless.

A wonderful company to work for. Have you ever heard the expression "cause another person to prosper?" That was the mentality of the environment. Everyone was always helpful and resourceful. The entire corporate office had many individual groups but ran as a team. It was an amazing experience.

Northrop is largely a system engineering production integration and test house. San Diego, where I was, and the corporate executive levels, recently youthanized; displaced knowledgeable experienced employees in favor of dumbed down youth. Unfortunately, this is often a predecessor to demise, which I hope does not happen. Diminishing contracts will probably – more...  mean takeover, so there is considerable padding & parachuting going on among high level execs. – less

The job is perfect for retired personnel or students in college, non stressful work place.

I did a lot of admisitrating to coordination major projects for Northrop Grumming in Planning and Scheduling.

The work environment was mostly everyone knew every one and worked together to get what needed to be done right and on time. We all worked together.

I was assigned in Iraq with this company. Comapred to other companies they seem to have more support with any questions or issues employees had.

I welded on Navy Ship Carriers. I learned how to weld in tight places and various heights. I enjoyed all of my co-workers and the company was phenomenal.

Northrop Grumman has a healthy work environment but with the limited opportunity for career advancement aftter reaching a certain career path level. I understand this is not uncommon in todays industry.
Unfortunately with current immediate management, nepotism seems to be prevalent and demonstrated frequently. This coupled with a commute that takes – more...  2 hours, this tarnishes my current overall opinion. – less

As with any good professional position, employee feedback to management provided a positive and respected two-way input into the tasks involved in providing good customer service that provided corporate support to our customer's requirements and expectations.

Management assigned responsibilities and gave us the opportunity to perform with minimal guidance. – more...  Morale was high with this positive approach by management.

My co-workers shared the same teamwork ethic.

The hardest part of the job was working with customers who had no realization of what their true project scope or needs were. This created development time that the client had not planned for in their budget or planning.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when I had the opportunity to provide my instructional system design experince to multiple assignments to independently design and develop training programs and then instruct them at the MDA GMD sites. – less

It was a trying experience. I appreciate them for giving me a chance, but contract work is not fair. Hiring people and then letting them go when the contract is up is not right at all.

A typical day with this company was great.When you step into the office team work on any level of assignment was a motivated factor to all, no matter what team or project you worked on. Management are strong leaders with a ear open for listening.

My typical day included contacting potential employess regarding their onboarding process. Level helpdesk support and entering compensation and job data.
The hardest part of the job was informing someone that they did not get the job that they had applied for.
