I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Redondo Beach, CA) in May 2016
Interview
After applying on their website, they reached out via email and phone where I was able to set up an interview. I also had to pass a drug screening which could be taken at a local facility and there was a background check. Since I was living nearby, I was able to have the interview on site with people on various projects. Mine lasted well over an hour as I had separate conversations with about 3 people. Afterwards they showed me around the building we were in. There weren't any tough technical questions but they did probe my understanding of basic object oriented programming. There was no technical interview.
