Business outlook
Pros
The same as many of its competitors, Northrop has decent early compensation and an acceptable benefits package. Education reimbursement especially has been a significant boon for me. Management is interested in carrying forward good ideas, and has processes in place to empower employees. In such a large organization, however, certain groups often are marginalized.
Cons
The defense industry is always rising and falling with the contracting decisions of our government. Right now, NGC is doing a phenomenal job capturing contracts, and much of this can be attributed to some strong leadership at the right levels. However, not enough is being done to solidify these gains.
