Northrop Grumman Work Values

Daily Duties at Northrop Grumman:

I served Northrop Grumman as program manage in two capacities, both with same division, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR). The first was a pentagon position supporting the Undersecretary of Defense for Counterintelligence & Security. Though I grew the size and scope of the contract considerably, and won retention of the work through an intensive recompete, I was not retained as Program Manager. Leadership believed a higher ranking retired military intelligence officer was needed to run the expanded operation. As a major I was not acceptable; a retired general officer was sought. I was transferred to the Public Safety Division and served as the Project Manager for security products.

What they like about Northrop Grumman:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
