Vantaggi

If you're an engineer of some sort, your work can be really interesting and important. If you're not an engineer, it's much harder to find positions that offer any kind of new/exciting work. As most people have said, it's a decent place to build experience if you have no better options; just don't expect to really build anything lasting.

Svantaggi

A select few executives are really making an effort to bring NG into the 21st century, but they are being constantly battled by an entrenched core of management who do everything they can to stymie any progress. These mediocre managers are good at playing the bureaucracy and political games, so they don't want to see meritocracy take hold. The company claims to want the best and brightest (to compete with the likes of Google and Apple), but they aren't willing to invest the resources to compete (salaries, bonuses, perks, etc). It's tough on morale because you hear all these awesome goals for the company, but then you watch each initiative slowly starve from lack of funding, lack of progress and lack of follow-through.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
