Pros

You may be able to transfer to a better Northrop Grumman location after getting your foot in the door. Also, if you only work behind the desk, you have a better chance of returning home without bodily harm.

Cons

You could die here. Saftey concerns are ignored. Old school work mentality that constantly straddles the line of what’s legal. There are so many cons to this job, I’m more fascinated with how anything gets done. I moved here from out of state for this job and discovered almost immediately, I made a mistake. I was lied to about work-life balance in the interview. I was lied to about getting proper training. I was not really trained at all to be honest. Toxic culture is very rampant and normal. Had to go to counseling the last few months of work due to unrealistic expectations, lack of team-work, safety concerns, lack of work-life balance, and total lack of support. The day I found out some co-workers died at work, I took time off, then quit. This job is NOT worth losing your life. If your main job is working in a cubicle, proceed with EXTREME CAUTION. Northrop Grumman has amazing opportunities world-wide. I’ve had co-workers transfer to other sites and enjoy those locations MUCH MORE than the Magna location. If you work in the factory……….lets just say it was the worst job I’ve ever had in my life.

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.
