Northrop Grumman Employee

"Great office location, poor leadership. Be prepared to wait a long time for advancement opportunities. Co-workers and their talent level is impressive, office politics suppresses a lot of that enthusiasm. No vision for the future, very much stuck in past ways of doing things."
