Pros

Good work! if in good group!

Cons

Very corrupt management! Security Officers abuse employees. They will accidentally put things in your JPAS entry so you cannot leave. They will communicate to other SSOs to prevent you from getting another job! Management is very retaliatory! Northrop touts you can change positions etc. but reality is if you try and leave the management and HR will retaliate against you! Management and Executives are making up all this ethical company crap! Take a good look at number of lawsuits Northrop has for double billing government agencies. Worked on six projects in five years and every single project got sued for double billing the government. It really is pathetic that a large company like Northrop is only successful due to its dishonest illegal manipulation of labor. Note: Definition of Organized crime is the illegal manipulation of labor! Anybody going to hire into Northrop should read a book called A just Cause.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
