I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in May 2025
Interview
I had a basic phone interview with a recruiter where I bragged about my skills, then an interview with two team members where I continued to brag about myself. There were 0 technical questions. It's basically impossible to fail as long as you have the skills they need.
Throughout this process, my HR rep never communicated with me nor answered my questions. She even got my name completely replaced by someone else's name. I'm not sure if she was a very rude human or a very poorly programmed bot. Either way it was a terrible first impression.
When I finally got my offer letter I was only given two days to respond. So since I got my letter on Tuesday, I had to give them an answer by Thursday and they wouldn't budge on that deadline for some reason. I think that is straight up coercion. It reeked of trying to get me to accept a sh!tty offer before I had time to consider my other options. My one saving grace was that they had forgotten to include relocation assistance in my package (LOL!) and had to delay giving me my offer by a week, by which time I had already accepted a much better and less scumbag company.
I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Huntsville Park, AL)
Interview
Technical questions and behavioral questions (STAR formatting) with the normal what draws you to work for us. Microsoft Teams meeting with a panel to review answers. Took roughly 1 hour and it was a very straightforward and easily made process.
Formal, not too stressful. Ensures you understand the basics and thay you know what you're talking about as you may be getting interviewed by somebody that's technical at some point.
The interview process was fairly straightforward; I have applied in March 2026 and got an interview in April 2026. It was a video interview on Teams with two other team members, just under an hour.
