Help Desk Manager

What do you like about working at Northrop Grumman?

"The chance to be involved with large-scale projects, handling requirements, and interfacing with subcontractors is a helpful thing to learn at least one time in one's career history."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"For the division in Rolling Meadows where I worked, it is important to acknowledge the importance of school reputation -- that was my experience anyways. Expect to have well-spoken HR interviewers, who will check in somewhat devious ways, whether or not you are willing to assist a person in difficulty. Remember that this company deals with government-classified information, so knowing how to keep confidential information to yourself is important."

"Because the division I worked for was involved in the development of military products, there is a lot of bureaucracy involved with security clearances. This slows down the pace of work tremendously, and contributes to an attitude of complacency amongst the engineers. If you are looking for highly motivated workers, don't expect to find too many at the location where I worked."
