      Principal Data Scientist Interview

      Mar 3, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Falls Church, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Falls Church, VA) in Nov 2019

      Interview

      The interview process included 2 phone interviews (I was out of state) followed by an in-person interview. The first phone interview was a general skill/fit high level discussion. The second phone interview was a technical interview based on a 24-hr take-home series of questions/problems/coding scenarios. The in-person interview was more for culture fit and more questions about how to deal with hypothetical situations.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Questions include ethics/morality issues about data access and privacy, reviewing sample code and proposing changes, and describing how I would approach analysis to proposed business questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Roy, UT)

      Interview

      I submitted an application, then around 5-6 week later received invitation to interview. Had a 30-minute screen with hiring manager about some high-level things that were not deep technically. Then was provided a take-home assignment that they gave me a week to complete. Then had an hour-long technical interview with 4-5 panelists where I was expected to present my work on the technical interview.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Roy, UT) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      Applied online at the NG website. Interviewed on the phone with a recruiter. Contacted a few days after phone interview by another HR person. Asked to fill out a short questionnaire on my background. After submitting the questionnaire, was sent a curt email telling me that I did not qualify for the position because my current (TS) clearance was not with the DoD. (I have a TS with another US Government agency). Northrop Grumman seems to not apply for reciprocity with clearances. Very strange. The position is going to be very hard to fill if DoD TS clearance is immediately required. (Reciprocity only takes a few months at most folks!) People with graduate degrees and 5+ years of data science experience PLUS a DoD TS clearance are not a dime a dozen. Especially if moving to Roy, Utah is a requirement. Recruiter did not return my email inquiring about reciprocity.
