Northrop Grumman Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Benefits were good but the compensation was rather poor. Many of the managers favored motivating employees in negative ways."

"Very little investment in my career advancement and utilizing my full range of skills. I take initiative and feel I exceed expectations but see very little recognition or opportunity for advancement."

"Working at the Azusa location of Northrop Grumman was an OK job. There was nothing special to brag about. There was work that needed to be done, and I did it. It was mostly doing bug fixes. New development was almost non-existent."

"It was a great company to work for. I just wish I had got to work there longer but bad luck hit and I was laid off."

"Everybody at my site is a software geek, although the government contract states Hardware Engineer. While interviewing me they were aware I didn't know the eight plus programming lanuages required for job performance. I pointed out how hardware is down because they couldn't fix it with a key stroke and I'm the person that can get it running. I got hired on the spot and to this day the corporate office has exempted me from the sofware qualifications as I have performed all the hardware repairs."

"I have only worked in one program of the company and I am not sure that all parts of NGC run the same way. I have been there 4 years and have gotten about 3% in all raises."

"The company is too rigid, very difficult to move up in the career unless you have security clearance. I hardly got to see my manager at times, because he would always have meetings. Sometimes, I would see manager only once a week!"

"It's a good place to work. Unfortunately the reason I may leave is because the project is moving to another state."

"Worked for NG 6 months. The manager gave me documents and code to review. The documents had already been reviewed by other team members. The code was given to you in units that were out of order with no compilers and you were supposed to review the code and find errors that the programmers somehow missed. Came in on Monday, and was told that 4 of us were being laid off on Thursday (Friday was Valentines Day holiday). Manager said they would do everything position to help, did not lift a finger."

"Decent place to work, good place to get a start."
