What do you like best about the leadership team?
well, they are personally engaged with their people.
Review from Engineering Dept
local leadership seems to care about people and having a positive working environment
Review from Engineering Dept
Appreciative of its people and values our participation in society. We go beyond leading in technology; we lead by example in our society. Our efforts to mentor young talent are critical to our strategic growth but even more critical to our values centered on paying forward.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership team at the Plymouth, MN location of Northrop are very disconnected from their employees. They do not portray a feeling of valuing the people who work for them or a firm understanding of what their employees do in their job.
Review from Engineering Dept
The Director of Aerospace Sysrems, Dr. Gold, is wonderful!
Review from Engineering Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Promoting growth of employee, and compensating employee at the competitive rate when promoting from within.
Review from Engineering Dept
Leadership is lacking. They tend to promote pure technical people instead of good leaders and managers. And, typically, pure technical experts are not great leaders. I would say that Boeing does a slightly better job at this, and even they are lacking in this category.
Review from Engineering Dept
The leadership is not in tune with the industry. They think they are competing with other contractors, but really it's the rest of tech ind.
Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
some say pet insurance, benefits package is pretty standard for the industry
Review from Engineering Dept
Health care, especially in these critical times.
Review from Engineering Dept
9/80 schedule and work life balance
Review from Engineering Dept
The best part is that I can all the insurance bro, like all of it
Review from Engineering Dept
All in all it is fair but lags behinds Lockheed Martin.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Too much variation, a lot of us are doing the same work and get paid vastly different.
Review from Engineering Dept
Long story short, when you get an increase that is claimed to be their fault, expect little to nothing the next yearly merit increase.
Review from Engineering Dept
Management team does not value individual employees. We feel more like numbers on a board than individuals. If the company had industry competitive salaries that would make me personally feel better about my compensation, as well as if promotions were base purely on performance.
Review from Engineering Dept
The company is always reducing benefits, and common office perks (like coffee, or even stationary) do not exist.
Review from Engineering Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are committed for the most part.
Review from Engineering Dept
we have a team that is willing to help grow skills, project specific knowledge of new members
Review from Engineering Dept
Outstanding professionals. We check our egos at the door and charge together to resolve some of the most complex techincal problems. We know our company profits from great relationships. Thus, we focus on results: delivering the customer needs, on-time and within cost. The impact: we all win
Review from Engineering Dept
My team loves to start dropping some fire beats in the middle of our meetings sometimes, and it really livens up the atmosphere
Review from Engineering Dept
Coworkers on my team are very knowledgeable and easy going.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
We are all on different projects, we rarely interact.
Review from Engineering Dept
More professionalism. Most of management are from the area and went to high school And college together.
Review from Engineering Dept
They tend to have a number of low performing employees that should really be move to better assignments for them or laid off. The performance evaluation process is close to worthless, as it pushes everyone to be average, providing very little incentive for most employees to excel.
Review from Engineering Dept
Team Meetings are unpaid for
Review from Engineering Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
local management is interested in having a positive environment for employees
Review from Engineering Dept
My boss listens and values my opinion. My team listens and values my opinion. I have total support to work and work effectively.
Review from Engineering Dept
All white supremacists have been eliminated
Review from Engineering Dept
The only positive about the culture is the employees that have been at the company for a long time. The overall culture and environment however is very negative.
Review from Engineering Dept
The environment is positive and you feel welcomed and appreciated.
Review from Engineering Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to hire more people to get more stuff done.
Review from Engineering Dept
More diversity and inclusion and a change of culture.
Review from Engineering Dept
Hard to say there is any magic bullet to solve the problem since most people there just do not care anymore. All they want to do is survive the next lay off wave or get the golden handshake and retire early.
Review from Engineering Dept
More focus on development and work life balance.
Review from Engineering Dept
Although NG claims they have a better culture than their competitors, I've worked at those competitors and they are fooling themselves. They are all the same company with different names. Due to the large amount of people migrating between companies. The "lifers" are drinking their own kool-aide.
Review from Engineering Dept
What did you like most about the interview process?
job fair by invitation on a weekend
Review from Engineering Dept
Warm and welcoming... we are not Amazon :-)
Review from Engineering Dept
The questions asked and the ease of the interview.
Review from Engineering Dept
They interview over the phone to screen out those who cannot listen and communicate clearly. In person interviews go from selling yourself to them selling you on the job if they want to hire you. They avoid talking about benefits and other short comings of the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Length of time to make a decision
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Ready for the challenges. I have the tools and support for success.

Helping others, giving credit to others, owning up to my own mistakes, mentoring new hires, avoid fruitless meetings and looking forward to the weekends away from work.
Review from Engineering Dept
The people and the work itself
Review from Engineering Dept
The opportunity to do what I do best each day and help solve hard problems.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
good communication would be nice and a general pass-down would be good.
Review from Engineering Dept
currently there are concerns about future work.
Review from Engineering Dept
Management is disconnected from the employees and what it takes to do the jobs required of them. It can be improved by management listening to feedback or being open to feed back from employees.
Review from Engineering Dept
The bureaucracy like IT and procurement, and outdated work culture is really demotivating
