I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Pretty straightforward - started with a screening call from an internal recruiter, who was super nice, and she let me know what the process would be. She was my go-to contact throughout the process. Had an initial quick call with the hiring manager where they just told me about the position and let me ask clarifying questions, and then a follow up 'panel' interview that had more of the traditional interview questions about past experience/skills/personal traits etc. Nothing super out of left field, though.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Jul 2022
Interview
Initial half hour phone call with tech lead, followed a month later by a full interview. First was a half hour discussion with the hiring manager, then a 90 minute technical presentation with questions, then a break, then two 45 minute technical panels with various teams in the unit. This was for a position that requires a PhD, so the only challenging questions were about my own presentation. The rest of the time we discussed what I might be doing in the position. Received an offer the same day.
