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:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
