"I've worked for NGC for 3 years, 2 as an intern and 1 as an employee. The company supports its employees and pays for school as well as having deals with schools, so you can get your masters on campus with classes on the off Fridays. The 9/80 work week is great and they shut down from Christmas to New Year's every year by using all the floating holidays then."

"I've worked at NG for over 8 years. It is a large organization and the two projects that I've worked on have been a good experience. Like any large government contractor, the contracts are islands with little opportunity for collaboration or growth. Salary levels as well as technology growth all depend on the size/budget of the contract. All in all, a good place to work."

"I worked for PRC which was bought by Northrop Grumman in 2000. PRC was a great company. Northrop Grumman is too big. My main complaint about the company is that they had limited training."

"I spent two years with Northrop Grumman. It had pros and cons as with any job. The watch floor team was great to work with, however the management team was very disconnected from what was going on. The management team took a very micromanagement approach and was constantly looking over shoulders. However, the work was very satisfying and as mentioned the team that I did work with was top notch."
