Pros

Pay is good if you negotiate hard and stay your ground. Benefits are good. That’s it

Cons

I decided to join this company based on the good reviews here but in reality it was the opposite. Management and leadership keep changing and they hire incompetent managers. The AZ side employees call the east NG employees to complain about their low salaries. AZ pay is the lowest. Cut throat culture and they take pride of working weekends and off Fridays. No work life balance and no real connections because everyone is looking for that promotion so no real friends. Leadership throws you under the bus if you lack knowledge about a specific thing instead of providing guidance. NG does not invest in 1 training class to prepare you for work, you either sink or swim! Also there was no diversity at all in my team and other teams which doesn’t match the values they try to claim

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.
