      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      After applying for the position, received a phone call a week later to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly basic, asking more about the background listed on my resume and why I decided to apply for the position. The two people I spoke with were very friendly and administered the interview very well. I was called in for an onsite interview a few days later. When I arrived I was greeted by the people I talked with over the phone and was led to a small conference room to conduct the interview. The interview consisted of some more review of my resume, except now going into a little more detail with some of my experiences. I was asked some specifics regarding the programming languages that were most relevant, and explain some computer science concepts that were relevant for the position. I was also asked to write a very small amount of code for a simple sort routine in the language of my choice. After the interviewing was finished, I was told more about the position and was shown around a few of the labs where testing took place. The overall interview process felt fairly pleasant and relaxed to me, and I was very fortunate to interview with such good people. Currently waiting for a call as to whether they'll consider me for the position.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Baltimore, MD) in Oct 2023

      Interview

      A recruiter reached out after seeing my resume in the Grace Hopper database. We scheduled a 1-hour phone interview with an engineer for later that week. I ended up getting the offer about an hour after the interview. I'm not sure if this is common, but I think the turnaround was so fast because Northrop was actively interviewing people at the Grace Hopper conference that day and giving out offers on the spot. The interview was easy, but it was also a good screen for my basic technical skills and interest in doing embedded software.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Dec 2022

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter and he suggested I go to their hiring event. It was through that hiring event I got an in-person interview. The interview itself was fairly straightforward. He talked to me about NG and asked if I knew about NG and why I wanted to join. I was also asked about relevant school work. (I finished my Master's about 2 years ago and I was applying for an entry level position so this is expected). I was also asked some basic CS questions related to object oriented programming. Overall, the interview process was pleasant. Out of all the interviews I've had, this interview was the most relaxed I felt. Even before coming into the interview, I got to meet some employees and it was great chatting with them. I highly recommend going to a hiring event.

      Interview questions [1]
