Awesome company to work for!

Its big, so there are many processes and procedures for the simplest of tasks. Some are necessary, but many are mundane and frustrating. Take the bad with the good...

Northrop Grumman Response
9y
The engagement surveys are definitely taken seriously and acted upon -- you may have seen some emails this very week from leadership that outline how steps are being taken in response to the feedback that was received, particularly with regard to corporate policies. When it comes to processes and procedures, if you have a better way of doing something, you should know that your manager and others are interested in your thoughts! Have you heard about the busting bureaucracy initiative? Employees are encouraged to take their improvements and solutions to leadership to help streamline processes and allow for more time to innovate. See what initiatives may be in place at your location!

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
