      Overview of life at NGC and in Aerospace

      Pros

      It is a safe and secure environment to work. With a security clearance it is almost impossible to be laid off. Compensation is around market and the benefits are great. You will get in at 8 and leave at 4:42... (seriously, you have 42 minute lunches in parts of NGC)

      Cons

      The skills learned there tend to be niche within the aerospace industry. So you tend to get pigeonholed into aerospace because the skills are non-transferable. Also pay increases are not really performance based. You will get between 3-5% a year even if you get a spectacular review. You have to threaten to leave or transfer within the company to get a significant bump in pay.

      Space Technology allows a healthy work-life balance

      Pros

      Space Park has a flexible work schedule. The 9/80 schedule means employees work 80 hours over 9 working days instead of the standard 10 days. This allows every other Friday to be an off-Friday giving employees 3-day weekends every other weekend. Also, there is an option to telework on a regular, part-time, or ad-hoc basis. Everyone is allowed to telework if their job responsibilities can still be performed and they have manager approval.

      Cons

      Northrop Grumman is a big company so it has the big company mentality. In terms of engineering, there is a focus on modifying successful designs from the past rather than creating new, innovative designs for the future.

      Pros

      My direct supervisor is a true PEOPLE manager, Time on job is one major reason for continuing to work here. Location is close to my personal life. I love the WORK. I do learn new things.

      Cons

      Any extra effort or passion for the job is not rewarded.We are paid on a job definition rather than what we actually do. My actual work differs greatly from what my job "Title" states I do. We do not get raises. we as a group had gone 4 years without even a cost of living increase. We are on a "special" NG contract and do not get the benefites that all other NG employees get.
