The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Jul 2009
Interview
The interview was organized but very friendly. Since I'm from the area, there was quite a bit of smalltalk about the part of town I live in and my rehab of an old Victorian home I bought in a historic district. Other than that, the interview style was fairly laid-back, asking questions about the types of projects I had worked on at my previous company and how, specifically, I used some of my IT skills. They also asked some very specific questions about my knowledge of database theory -- describe the various types of joins, for instance.

Question 1
Describe an outer left join (Oracle database question).
I applied online through the Northrop Grumman careers site in mid-January. A recruiter reached out within 5 days for a quick 15-minute phone screen to confirm my experience and interest in defense work. They scheduled a 60-minute panel interview with my hiring manager and two senior software engineers the following week.

did not get job. Interviewer did not seem interested in interviewing. Very lonely place to work in. Commute is not that bad. Huge area to work in. Not my cup of tea
