Pros

Opportunities are there for you to jump from team to team. You can expand your knowledge and skills more than other places I'm sure. Also nice to know that the job security is there. If you have a remote role, work/life balance is nice. If the opportunity presents itself to get a clearance, go for it. Getting someone to sponsor something like that is far and few.

Cons

Work culture. It's virtually non-existent. Not every team functions this way, but most of the teams I've worked with don't really invest the time and effort to teach you or welcome you to the team as much as you'd expect. You really have to be great at learning on the fly. Often, you'd think that the effort you invest in projects will result in a higher merit increase at the end of the year, but sadly there are only very very few people that are labeled as "excellent or high performers". This leaves you settling for 3% raises year over year. Unless you jump from team to team and hope to persuade the next team that you deserve more. Only managed to see myself get bumped about 20k in 5 years, which sounds good, but compared to the market, I should have been around double that by now. Northrop is a great place to start your career, or at the tail end of it. No more than 5 years consecutively in either case.

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.
