I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2022
Interview
After submitting my application online, I was pleased to receive an invitation for an interview a few days later. During the interview, I had the opportunity to speak with two members of the team. They were both very friendly and polite, and our conversation was enjoyable. The interview began with a series of STAR-format questions, where I was asked to share examples from my past experience. Then, I was asked some technical questions, including topics such as depth-first search/breadth-first search, the differences between stacks and queues, and concepts like Big O notation. These questions were not overly difficult. Overall, I left the interview feeling confident, but unfortunately, I received a rejection email about two weeks later.
