Northrop Grumman reviews

Toxic environment to work. Legacy software with no documentation at all. Go Fish mentality. They throw you in the water and if you swim, you survive. Not a collaborative environment. People hold their knowledge (job security) and you get clues instead of answers when you try to resolve problems. You can go in circles for days trying to get an answer for a simple question or problem you need to solve in the system. There are only few people who know the system. All the others do not work there anymore. Defense industry depends on politics. At the meetings, managers forecast all the great opportunities and contracts to come but in reality they didn't have much. Defense industry has a lot of up and downs. Hence, lot of layoffs.

Northrop Grumman has many Sectors. None of which are created equal for various reasons. This makes for an environment of the "Haves" and the "Have Not's". Many employees are jealous of other sector employees because of their benefits, schedules and general work life culture. Northrop Grumman Technical Services is the worst offender of this in my experience. They have poor benefits, expect way too much from their employees and pursue unrealistic goals. Some of the Senior Leadership have a "Bully" mentality where middle Management are afraid to speak freely for fear of reprisal. Expect layoff's every couple of years and don't think you are safe from being escorted off the property with no notice. (A very humiliating practice) This is especially true for Contractors, they are hired on and let go frequently. Those of us who have the intestinal fortitude to stand up for what is right, are short lived in the Technical Services Sector.
