Pros

Good projects if you find good manager.

Cons

Rampant Dishonesty and Employee Manipalation. There are sadistic people that do nothing work wise but spend time destroying others due to severe narcism. The HR is easily manipalated by the lower managers that all work toether to hurt people if you try to stop the dishonest people. It really is pathetic actually how much rampant dishonesty exist. People that are intelligient and sharp go to work there but the dishonest people are so rampant that they leave immediately. Those that report any wrong doing will never ever work in federal government again. Most of the people in charge are the children of other Northrop employees, Judges, Senaors, etc. whom have no training or common sense. Typical Northrop projects are just throwing bodies at projects stealing money from US Government.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
