Northrop Grumman reviews about "layoff"

It is slow sometimes and they just did layoffs last year

The business is struggling to acquire contracts so work is dwindling at the Space Park site at an alarming rate with no positive forecast in the future. The site is in a no hire no fire mode right now, which is understandable, but it is making a long term career here both risky in terms of a potential layoffs and limiting career growth in general if you want to climb the ladder. Leadership and upper management also have done a poor job retaining our best talent, most of our best people leave to competititors and the knowledge they have is not being passed down or retained in any way. Being a good employee here is not rewarded so I can't blame them for leaving.

“Good boys club” culture is still circulating and this will take years to remove. People who work hard and have the technical aptitude do not get recognized for their contributions. People who are friends with management get promoted and recognized, even if they do not contribute. The culture in the Chandler facility is extremely toxic, abusive, and lacks professionalism. This is a big reason I had to leave the environment. You cannot confide in your management to help solve issues that are within their scope, because they will use that against you. I have never worked somewhere where the lead or manager will talk negatively/gossip about their own team. Depending on your group, you could end up being treated more like a slave rather than a respectable employee. Examples include Configuration and Document Control, Data Transfer Agents, IT, & Systems Engineering. These departments experience levels of abuse that should not be tolerated by the Program Management of Chandler including contacting their personal phones off hours. The turnover here is high and there is a reason. Recently, the company had layoffs and have no idea how to hire the right people. They will continue to lose great employees because of the way they treat people.

As with any defence company, layoffs do happen.

Not many. Layoffs due to customer budget realignments.

- Pay has barely increased past few years due to industry climate - Program closures and layoffs spark uneasy feelings

I did not get a return offer, probably because of the NGI layoff being around that time.

Work can be slow, funding uncertain, restructured organizations and programs due to executive leadership changes can cause layoffs
