The Rolling Meadows campus can be described as a windowless bunker that is as mid-managed as its buildings aesthetics. - Supply Chain Planner Northrop Grumman Employee Review

Pros

They have Friday’s off every other week and that’s about it. There are okay 401k benefits with company matching. Not much else.

Cons

Anyone not an engineer is severely underpaid. You have to wait 3 years to even be considered in moving up in a pay grade. This means there is no incentive to meet the objective requirements and gain the necessary skills because you’re up against time. They don’t listen to employees feedback. In fact, in the employee survey that is taken every year my manager got the results, reviewed them with us, and then told us to come up with plans to solve them. I would advise any non-engineer to steer clear of this campus. Not a good place to build a career by any means.

Pros

Job security, nearly impossible to get laid off, Hours for most people are consistent, generally a good benefits package. You are able to jump around laterally within the company very easily. Once you get to T3 and above the salary becomes decent for prime standards. Easy, almost non-existent interviews.

Cons

Not moving fast enough in the current defense market. Lots of red-tape. Turnover at specific sites are insanely high. Promotions take forever and the increase in salary is minimal. They don't care about retention. They will let you walk and give your replacement a sign-on bonus and a higher salary. There are a lot of slackers and old timers riding it out till retirement. Only about a 1/3 of this site is actually productive. Yes-men get into management and ignore technical experts. Agile hiring is a huge issue where people are just thrown onto random teams. Easy, almost non-existent interviews allow people without relevant backgrounds to join teams. Every site operates completely differently.
