"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."
"Worked here for 13 years."
"I worked for Northrop Grumman for 12 years and in the last 7 years they have shown that they are not a very ethical company. They do not care why people quit when it is for poor management reasons or due to retaliation. They sell products to one customer, then use the same parts from that product on another product to sell it to another customer."
"Xetron was a great company until Northrop rolled in and ruined it. Benefits eliminated or weakened, poor raises, age discrimination, toxic work environment reduces or eliminates open collaborative work. If your particular project goes bad you will be blacklisted by management even if it is not related to your effort."
"I've worked at NGC since 2010 and they are not friendly toward young graduates. It is hard to get recognized, especially as a female and much of the management is not really fit to be managing individuals. They are not very supportive and do not care to help you progress through your career. You have to try very hard to find someone to assist you and get you through the company but if you find your way, you will be decently compensated."
"As nature of consulting work, NG wants you you to stick with them until last day of project and they will not place you in next project. Hardly you get week or two to find another project within company or you will be fired."
"I was employed from 1986 to 2014 on various efforts which were technically stimulating. I learned much and had the opportunity to advance my career. The company closed this site to relocate to Florida."
"It's a decent place to work. However the program leadership is terrible. They are rarely on site and not particularly engaged when they are on site."
"I have learned so much since I have been with the company."
"The company has a good quality rating."
