I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Washington, DC) in Feb 2014
Interview
Phone screen. Very basic questions surrounding experience as it relates to position. No behavioral or technical questions. The recruiter simply checked to see if I met the basic qualifications for the position and then scheduled a second phone interview with hiring manager \team. I declined the interview because I was not interested in the position after getting further details from the recruiter.
