I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Colorado Springs, CO) in Jun 2012
Interview
I applied for a Software Engineer I position with Northrop Grumman in Colorado Springs. About a week later I received a polite call from a Northrop Grumman recruiter to set up an interview. We agreed on a time some days later, and at the specified time the hiring manager called me. The hiring manager asked me about myself, and immediately told me it was "strange" that I had graduated in March. I had to explain to him how a school with a quarter system works. After that he asked me a series of very specific technical questions like "what is systems engineering?" (this topic was not on the job description) or "how many lines of code have you programmed?" He seemed to be looking for a candidate with certain pre-existing skills, not someone who was willing to learn. He was critical of me during the interview and I did not find the experience pleasant.
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Dec 2011
Interview
It was an easy interview, but the job wasn't really fit for me. We talked about what I was interested in and what I could offer Northrop. I realized that I wasn't as interested in an internship there as I previously though. It become apparent to all of us that this wasn't really for me by the end, but it was still an enjoyable experience for me. They didn't offer me an internship, but I was alright with that.
