Interview
I met with Northrop hiring managers at my school's career fair. I showed them some projects I brought and the recruiter gave me his email. Emailed him and applied online.
1-2 weeks later, I had two 1 on 1 interviews for two different positions:
The first one was all behavioral and the second one was pretty much all technical. Behavior one for the first position was a very easy going conversation and the questions were basic teamwork/leadership stuff. Interviewer was very friendly and personable.
The second interview was the more technical one and it was terrible. Was given a surprise 3D force analysis test thing and absolutely bombed. I just went in too fast and didn't think about how stuff would work. Also, the interviewer was snarky and gave rude comments during the interview.
I was told I would be contacted in a week. A week went by and I was told I was still being considered. The weekend passed and then I was told I got the first position, which I wanted.
