Northrop Grumman Employer Reviews

Management is extremely resistant to change. Good old boy network rules the roost

HR and leadership does not compensate based on performance, rather based on only years of service

Enjoyed working for and with this company. Learned many skills and applied them on the job. Was efficient with all my daily tasks, was eager to being work each day.

Ran manchinery,inspected parts , inventory , worked with great people

A typical day at work consists of about 10 hours straight of nothing but meetings, phone calls, deadlines, and managing the status of projects. The hardest part of the job is not the job itself, but the workload. The workload never let up and only continued to increase with no relief. The most enjoyable part of the job was the great team of people that – more... I got to work with on a daily basis along with great flex hours, vacation time, and benefits. Northrop Grumman pays well, but they expect you to do the work of 2 people. – less

Wonderful work environment.
Great Co-workers.
Well taken care of.

I have worked for this company two different times in my carrier.

I enjoyed working with the people on the team. I can depend on everyone to complete a mission whether it is time sensitive or not. Plans changes on a regular basis and it is expected. Even with those unexpected changes, my team puts great efforts to complete the mission. When there are decisions made, either everyone agrees or if not, we all talk it – more... over and explain our differences and move forward from there. – less

The company is a great place to work, the fact is they are closing our plant in Norwalk.

all hangars were well maintained, management was very helpful.

I learned management techniques that Northrup Grumman utlizes in their company.

This is my first job out of college and I am getting some great experience and I am learning a lot from my peers.

I enjoy my position here.

When I began at the company twenty-three years ago in Los Angeles, it was TRW. In fact, I transferred to Denver with TRW, then in 2002 Northrop Grumman, a significantly large corporation and player in the aerospace industry, purchase/merged with TRW.

About a year after the merger, employees began to feel a lot more like numbers rather than names/people – more... with the larger company, but fortunately our campus in Denver maintained the old TRW family, people-first culture as best they were able.

I worked with some of the smartest, most talented, team-oriented people I have met to this day. – less

Brilliant coworkers developing cutting-edge technology. Bureaucratic management is a bit of an inhibitor. Can't always brag about your work due to trade secret restrictions.

Huge corporation...they want me to write more about the company, but as with any DoD company, we are currently walking on egg shells with the climate in Congress. Wait and see.

Decline of the defense industry has made job security an issue and given reductions management is more focused on self preservation. Little to no work life balance, you belong to the company 24x7.

Worked in a classified SCIF for government contractor. Helped security team manage an over 10 year listing of classified documents, software and equipment while waiting for a permanent contact assignment. Management was totally supportive of my helping the SCIF security team. The hardest part of this job was combining several different versions of an – more... Excel spreadsheet document into one usable format. I was able to teach the team how to combine and use the MS excel search and sort functions. The team was very receptive to my being an addition to their office. – less

My experience working with Northrop Grumman is great and I would recommend this company to anyone.
