Northrop Grumman Software Development Engineer reviews

The defense industry is fickle

Being a big company and contracting for the government doesn't give NG any advantage over the smaller, non-profit, disabled, woman owned companies, etc.. It doesn't matter how good you do on the contract...the lowest bid will always win now. The annual performance reviews only allow a small portion of people to be excellent or out-performing. It doesn't matter how good you are and what your manager rates you at, you still can get kicked down to the "Successful Performer". Pay increases are reflected in that as well.
