Pros

I am struggling to find any. Salary is competitive.

Cons

Promotions based on time vs. merit. Time spent on tasking has to be recorded to the tenth of an hour, which deters mentorships, team development, and attendance to meetings. Employees feel undervalued nearly across the board and there are daily negative comments made about the company and work environment. Departments work in silos. Communication from leadership is poor. Health insurance is terrible.

Pros

Great work life balance Amazing work culture - some of my favorite peers have been Northrop Employees Benefits are really nice Work can be really exciting at times, giving me the opportunity to take ownership over complicated projects and tasking

Cons

Red tape makes speed tough at times. There can be really slow periods for far too long The promotion system is truly terrible. There are no incentives to stay or go above and beyond. They are unreasonably firm on time-in-seat, way too slow to act (they take months), and low ball you on promotional offers. So you could be a high performer for years, but the new-hire with no experience with the company will likely make thousands more than you do. It's backwards, and it's really the only reason I left.
