Pros

Pay was good, health benefits where good.

Cons

Management does not listen to employees. I brought ethics violations and federal contracting violations by a sub-contractor manager to the attention of Northrop Grumman management and I was given the excuse "He's the manager" by my Northrop Grumman management. Those excuses cost Northrop yet another employee because I cleaned out my desk and walked off the job because I was not going to deal with the corrupt sub-contractor manager who was introducing risk into the government contract without government permission and making it impossible to do what I was hired to do. Northrop black lists employees who leave under duress or other than desirable circumstances and give negative feedback to potential employers when doing an employment background check. This was verified by an associate who called NG and posed as an employer seeking to hire me.

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.
