Good company with a heavy management hierarchy similar to the military. - Recensione dipendente - Systems Engineer presso Northrop Grumman

Management is excellent. Benefits (except for PTO) are excellent, especially the 401k matching and the HSA instead of the FSA. Pay is excellent.

They use a system called PTO (Paid Time Off) that gives you a fixed amount of every kind of time off every year. If you use it for sick time, then you have get vacation time. I volunteered to take unpaid time off so as to save my PTO for vacation, but I was turned down. Plus, you cannot purchase additional PTO time via salary deduction.

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
