Working at Northrop Grumman in Melbourne, FL: 11 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Melbourne, FL Area

"I have worked with Northrop Grumman for 3 years. In my 3 years I have observed the growth of the company from the start of a major development to now being midway through the product lifecycle. The company has constantly adapted and improved their processes. While maintaining a strong relationship with the customer."

"NGAS has too many problems to remain competitive. Engineers are often forced or actively encouraged to work extra hours without any additional compensation and are exploited as "acting," performing at higher pay and without actually getting paid in those pay bands. Any and all incentives/contract fee/awards are hoarded among the VP/Director levels, line engineers don't see anything. You get slammed for showing any individuality or initiative if it can't be claimed by your boss as his/her own idea. People are dejected and disengaged as they watch their benefits eradicated year after year, each year fewer holidays, pensions eliminated, etc. Young people are finally getting smarter, using the company to get their MS and then immediately leaving for better companies with higher salaries. NGC salaries are about 50K under what engineers can get elsewhere. There's no reason to stay and every reason to leave."

"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."
