      Pros

      Highly professional engineers. Many interesting projects. Industry standard benefits.

      Cons

      Too many directors and managers without proper and relevant work experience. Too many unreasonable directors- get it done by yesterday? Too many poor communicators - talks nonsense to fill the void. Department budget issues every year - anyone new can be let go within 6 months or less of hiring. Be sure to ask 6months/1year/3year work plan and packages from the hiring manger before you commit. Too many status meeting for the sake of being Agile - huge waste of time listening to 20+ people just to hear them say “I attended many meetings.” Lacks discipline - no proper training approach. Video recordings and books or process documents based trainings.

      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.
