Northrop Grumman reviews

They pay here is simply pathetic. I interned here for 4 yrs and was hired on wth a salary that is $20,000 less than the average salary for an entry level electrical engineer with 0 experience. Raises are guaranteed to never exceed 2%

- employeesssible to get an interview to get promoted in to management despite exceeding qualifications. Jobs are predetermined for hand picked employees and posting to hire process is just a formality. - company has a "high potentials" list comprised by upper management primarily based on popularity and children of executives. If you didnt make the list then dont expect to move up in the company. - Personal salary increase of less then 1% per year over a five year period. Despite the fact that work was highly regarded and only limiting factor was my compensation relative to my peers. They bring you in laterally and then tell you you are overpaid according to market research ( source unknown). If you do get an offer ask what percent you are to market. - performance management system is waste of time because you rating is predetermined prior to your review and no negotiations on the number. - countless lip service but very little action by upper management. - this is an engineering company. Raises are done in tiers. Even though need all functions to run a successful program engineering receives highest raise, technical mgmt next and business mgmt gets the least amount. - employees to management ratio too low. Most cases two employees to a manager which adds unnecessary layers and micro management. - work life balance is preached but NOT practiced. its frowned upon to take time. I
