I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (London, England)
Interview
Initial interview with a hiring manager which was a good discussion. Then asked to do one further informal discussion, which turned out to be a very formal line of questioning by 3 people.

Question 1
How would you handle a disagreement within your team?
One of the worst experiences I have had in my life. I interviewed for the Linthicum, MD, position. The interview was easy and great, and two days after the interview, I was selected. The recruiter called me and said they would give me a certain amount of money, and I said that was the amount she had mentioned earlier, and I was okay with their offer. Then she said she would be in touch, but she never got back to me. I never declined the offer or negotiated the salary but was still rejected by the hiring manager. They never tried to make me an offer; they never tried to reach me. This is not how you should treat people. Don't make them an offer if you are going to do this. I hope karma gets to the recruiter and the hiring manager for how much anxiety and depression they have caused the other party.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Jan 2024
Interview
Asked me about past projects and a few basic technical questions. No code. Interviewers were chill. Remote doesn't seem to be an option. Just review basic OOP questions and you should be fine.
