I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Melbourne, FL) in May 2017
Interview
I applied for the position at the beginning of March and was contacted about two and a half weeks later by recruiter. The recruiter called and asked a few questions about location preference (they were hiring for OKC and Melbourne), degree completion, start date, security clearance, etc. The same day I received an e-mail to schedule the phone interview which was the following Monday. I completed the phone interview and didn't hear back until two and half weeks later. I was contacted by a different recruiter and had to call their security department to verify my security clearance. About a week and a half went by and I was e-mailed to scheduled a in person interview. The interview was the following Monday. After the interview I got an e-mail asking for permanent address. The offer came about a week later. Long interview and onboarding process even with security clearance from the military.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Simple. Questions were not too difficult and description of the job was 50% accurate. This presents two problems: new hires are not fully aware of what their tasks are and the quality of the new hires are not up to par at times due to the lax interview process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
The interview was easy. Started with an HR screening, a manager phone screening and then an in person interview. I pretty much had the job. The interview was a formality. They explained more of the job responsibilities and flew me out to the site.
