If you have integrity, don't work here - Contracts Administrator Northrop Grumman Employee Review

Steady work and interesting projects. Really positive culture with engaged Employee Resource Groups. A good mix of long-term managers, and those moving up. Reverse commute from a good chunk of Los Angeles along the 101. Benefits standard good. Getting paid for extra hours during crunch times is nice vs. standard salary for most engineering companies. Still salary when there are brief lulls in projects.

Bad commute from Ventura Big return to site push even for roles that don't need it.

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
