          Decent base pay and benefits

          Good manager, good benefits, good company.

          Cons

          Your Program manager can make or break your career. It has nothing to do with the company, just your local head honcho.

          I have been working at Northrop Grumman full-time for less than a year

          Pros

          Travel plus per diem on a regular basis is fun, and a flexible schedule is great for family life, and my sanity. Also, my leadership is awesome and supportive.

          Cons

          If you've ever worked for a large company, some of the same cons pop up. With Northrop Grumman, my only complaint is that the benefits are nothing to write home about.

          Advice to Management

          At least for the team I'm on, I will say to keep doing what you're doing! A sign of solid leadership is 0% micro-management, and full trust in the members you selected for your team. Our work quality is so great because we are allowed to do things our own way essentially.

          Approves of CEO

          I have been working at Northrop Grumman full-time for more than a year

          Pros

          Cutting edge technology for one of the top defense contractors in the world.

          Cons

          Below average pay scale compared to industry standard. Healthcare plan options are very expensive. Promotion opportunities from within must apply like external candidates. You have to pass an HR pre-screen, then a phone interview JUST to be considered for a role for a team you are already a part of.

          Advice to Management

          Pull talent from your current pool of employees, if no one fits the bill, then look to external candidates. Invest in your employees compensation wise. Just because the midwest has a limited # of qualified candidates is no excuse to pay below industry minimum.
