Pros

- Work supports the defense of the nation - Flexible work schedules - Great peers

Cons

The management is fundamentally broken. No direction, or cohesive strategy to address security requirements. Nepotism and cronyism is rampant. Ancient internal processes, cheaply and inefficiently run, drains time and effectiveness from employees. Do more with less, you will be told, when your department experiences high turn over, and the extra work falls on understaffed and burnt out departments. They seem to be actively alienating senior staff so when they quit can be replaced with inexperienced low paid staff who will stay long enough to get experience, get burned out, and then abandon ship.

Not enough space to list them all. They don’t care at all about their people Management is openly hostile to employees Management breaks company rules with impunity (i.e. VPs sleeping with employees) They will work you to death and in some cases not pay you Benefits are horrible and below industry standards Pay is below industry standards Managers will lie to you and act like you are crazy when you bring it up HR refuses to do their job, all they care about is protecting the company Workers openly harass and bully other workers with impunity Very unprofessional and hostile environment Nepotism is rampant and managers will remove high performing leads and replace them with friends that are stupid and useless

Pros

The Northrop Grumman name is respected and established throughout the defense industry.

Cons

I would NOT recommend working out of the Rancho Carmel San Diego office in their Configuration Management group. There are too many cons to list. Myself as well as the majority of my colleagues had an extremely negative experience working here. Low morale in the group due to inefficient management practices, (some) toxic coworkers in cahoots with management, nonexistent HR, no room for growth even though we had qualifications and years of experience in this job function, hostile work environment, little to no training at the onset and throughout our time here, etc. There is a lot of turnover for a reason. Many of us were desperate to leave and jumped ship to other companies as well as other internal departments. The worst part was dealing with very aggressive management that made us feel uncomfortable and at times unsafe in the workplace. I am astounded at my experience here and hope anyone who considers working there will read this first.
