Interviewed Jul 2011 in Aurora, CO (took a day)
I was notified by a company employee of the opening and he submitted my name. Two weeks later I was told to go the company website and formally apply for the position. One week later I was notified that I had an interview in two weeks. Did the interview and received an offer letter three days later. I accepted the offer and the pre-screening process began. I got a start date two months later.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Interview was with three employees, 2 managers and 1 lead analyst. It was not a very professional interview as two of them were on laptops during the majority of the interview. The questions that I was asked were very elementary and not very clear. The interview did not seem to be planned at all.

Interviewed Aug 2009 (took 3 days)
I uploaded my resume on the company's website and applied for all positions that were suggested. I was reffered to the company and listed the referral's name. Three days later I received a call for an interview. The interview process included a telephone interview, 1 on 1 with a hiring manager, a group panel interview, presentaion and background of the company. This was followed by an IQ test, backgroumd, and drug sceening. I got to meet the supervisors that I would work under, they gave their backgrounds. Everyone came off as knowledgeable of their duties and happy to be a part of the "team". Teamwork was a big deal and tthey explained the importance of everyon's role and how it all comes together in the end. I was given a call with the formal offer the following week.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Linthicum, MD (took a day)
The interview was a basic behavioral interview. Asked questions about job experience in the related field and whether I was willing to travel around the world (even to not so likable places like Afghanistan). Overall I think the interview went well.

Interviewed May 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 weeks)
Began with phone screen and escalated to invitation to open house. I was one of a few people interviewing for an intern position, so I began with 1 interview with 2 people at the same time. Shortly after (same day), I interviewed with the program manager. Within a week, I received an offer from a recruiter and accepted the offer.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Clearfield, UT (took 5 weeks)
Inital phone call with hiring manager turned into ad-hoc interview. Was asked to join a conference call the next day for a formal phone interview with all management present. Was invited to come in person for an interview one week later. The process went like this - individual interviews with all of the management, lasted half the day. Then, taken to lunch by the hiring manager, talked about non-work stuff. After lunch, group interview with all management, and presented some prior research.

Negotiation Details
Some room for negotiation, but then again, economy is bad and people are getting laid off. Less bargaining power. I did retain my salary from previous job, which was in a higher cost of living. Effective raise - 20%.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Melbourne, FL (took 4 months)
The hiring process is extremely stringent and in order to receive an interview your resume must first be screened by the Recruiter of the department, then again by H.R. The interview consists of situational/analytical based questions in order to establish the core competencies that Northrop is looking for. After the interview your online profile will keep you updated on the process and outcomes, but more than likely you will receive an email from the recruiter informing you whether or not you received the position.
