Pros

Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems Sector offers many advantages to it's employees where teaming efforts are involved. They afford the employ an opportunity to travel world wide, Telecommute, flexible shifts and reasonable time off for work life balance. The projects and aircraft are amazing in their capabilities, employees can be proud of their accomplishments. The culture is generally a family of friends making things happen. They look out for one another and offer assistance and guidance where needed. The benefits are reasonable as tis the compensation.

Cons

Northrop Grumman has many Sectors. None of which are created equal for various reasons. This makes for an environment of the "Haves" and the "Have Not's". Many employees are jealous of other sector employees because of their benefits, schedules and general work life culture. Northrop Grumman Technical Services is the worst offender of this in my experience. They have poor benefits, expect way too much from their employees and pursue unrealistic goals. Some of the Senior Leadership have a "Bully" mentality where middle Management are afraid to speak freely for fear of reprisal. Expect layoff's every couple of years and don't think you are safe from being escorted off the property with no notice. (A very humiliating practice) This is especially true for Contractors, they are hired on and let go frequently. Those of us who have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for what is right, are short lived in the Technical Services Sector.

Pros

NG name on the resume if you can survive long enough

Cons

The Tampa office is run by a toxic manager as many have stated. The working climate is incredibly toxic. Team members quit every week. Average tenure is 6 months. There is no team cohesion or culture. The job titles and descriptions are switched regularly. Schedules and working hours change. Tasks are unclear. There is no onboarding, introduction, or training. Micromanaged down to the second. The program manger uses inappropriate language and threatens team members. Please do not work here. This program and the manger need to go away.
