Pros
This is a great place to build your career – there is fast professional growth at the company, but it’s more forced upon you rather than encouraged. There are some really admirable and amazing people who work here, which makes supporting the company’s mission more exciting. The 9/80 work schedule is also a great perk.
Cons
If you like playing corporate politics and having zero work-life balance, then Northrop Grumman is for you! Expect constant changes in organizational structure with no guidance from leadership (who preach collaboration across the org, yet they never involve necessary POCs in their own strategic planning), and a revolving door of new employees who quickly realize the poor work environment they signed up for. Executive leadership is resistant to critical feedback that’s essential in an enterprise’s performance review, and is extremely slow in making necessary changes. They encourage people to move laterally within the company as they say it’s a way to learn more about the business, but it’s only to hide the fact that they rarely promote their hard-working employees. There’s a reason why the Comms org continues to lose dedicated and talented employees – and it will continue to do so until there’s accountability being held at the executive-level.
