I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Sunnyvale, CA) in Jul 2016
Interview
HR contacted me to set up for an interview. There was plenty of time to prepare. Upon arrival, there was along wait to get visitor pass. I was glad that I got there early. The interview was a three persons panel interview, consisting of managers and peers. It was about 1-1/2 hours with several questions.
They asked basic Behavioral scenarios and a resume walk. program management questions. describe the engineering process and how you manage projects. any questions for us? I asked about the culture and promotion opportunities.
It was two rounds after applying - approximately one hour for each. The first round was with an HR manager and the hiring manager. The second interview was with a Senior Director level person in charge of the overall team.
