Northrop Grumman Employee Reviews for Software Engineer

"I've worked for NG both as a contractor and as an employee for a 1 1/2 years now. Fortunately I have worked many web based projects. I enjoyed my time working on such project however, their is very limited potential here for to focus on front end items (which I truly enjoy). Furthermore, Some of the project management decisions I have experienced are problematic in that we sometimes push code with known defects or sub-par. Something which I refuse to do."
