Standard process, The start date may vary depending background check duration. I started about 30 days after the original start date I was given. Need a better training system.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman
Interview
I attended a college career fair within my industry and had a chance to meet with a panel of individuals. Two hiring managers, their manager, HR and two other outside reps. I really one asked one question in the beginning which was tell us about your experience and that turned into a 20 minute conversation. At the end I asked a few questions about the company and that was it. One business day later I was contacted by another HR rep and I was told to fill out an application. Three days later I was offered the job. Great process once you get the interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Lakewood, WA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Panel interview. Outstanding and probing. The interviewers ensured that I was comfortable and prepared for the panel interview. All of the interviewers were genuinely professional and intent on making certain they had the right candidate or not.
