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

You will always get your paycheck and your benefits.

Cons

They take the diversity thing way too extreme. Caucasian males and especially veterans will not advance to management. They review their employees on one scale that is made public to the employee. Then management have what they call a “9- square” review they also perform and they do not share this with even the employee. This square has all the employees under the manager listed in respective squares with 1 being basically not a good employee and 9 being “should be CRO” essentially. Then they have a diversity legend on the form. This diversity legend include 3 stars for a Caucasian female, 2 stars for a minority female, 1 star for a minority male and, you guessed it no stars for a Caucasian male. These stars are then placed in front of the employee names. This makes it so that upper management can see their “diversity” in their employees. The managers say they do not issue promotions based on this but it does not appear to be true to employees. This is why I chose to leave the company.

Pros

Nothing I can think of

Cons

Beware when getting an offer to work at this company, because they may rescind it after acceptance and after you have given notice at your current company. They may even give a faulty reason, but they can do it for any reason or none at all. Any company can rescind an offer at anytime, but I truly thought NGC would be above that. Very unethical times we are living in, and NGC fits that moldiness very well.
