I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Melbourne, FL) in Mar 2019
Interview
NGC had a multi-tiered interview like most companies. I interviewed twice with the HR Representative, performed a telephone interview with the Hiring Manager, was called in-person to perform another interview, and at the end of the process, received an offer for a position of a lower grade and corresponding lower salary. It was not enough to encourage me to leave my current position, there was no room for negotiation, and the reasons for lower position offer did not align with the job description or reviews from colleagues that had also applied and interviewed. Overall, I was very disappointed with the wasted time, energy, and the insulting offer and reasoning given.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA)
Interview
There were two interviews. Both lasted about an hour. One was over the phone with my direct supervisor. Most of the questions that was asked were related directly to the job and tested my knowledge. The second interview was in person with a panel of five. Most of the questions were situational questions, a few were related to the job and generic interview questions.
