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

"Be sure that their contract is solid and will be continuing for the time period in which you wish to work there.

"Management of Northrop needs to understand the real meaning of DIVERSITY. Management in Northrop have no sense of tolerances of responsibilities. They do personal favors depending on WHO KNOWS WHO. Bad, too bad. Openly insulting individual's education, experiences, as well as their skill sets. Pushes their employees, set up their employees for failures - very questionable employment practices. Liars, cheaters and professional emotional abusers."
