I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Melbourne, FL) in Mar 2019
Interview
NGC had a multi-tiered interview like most companies. I interviewed twice with the HR Representative, performed a telephone interview with the Hiring Manager, was called in-person to perform another interview, and at the end of the process, received an offer for a position of a lower grade and corresponding lower salary. It was not enough to encourage me to leave my current position, there was no room for negotiation, and the reasons for lower position offer did not align with the job description or reviews from colleagues that had also applied and interviewed. Overall, I was very disappointed with the wasted time, energy, and the insulting offer and reasoning given.
