Intern Engineer Software at Northrop Grumman
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in San Diego, CA Feb 2009 – Reviewed Mar 5, 2013
Interview Details – Hired through job fair at University of California - San Diego. Most of screening process appears to be done at the resume level, by the time I was brought in for an interview, it seemed to be only a formality. Very few technical questions asked, expectations for an intern are low, it seems.
Negotiation Details – I was pleased with the rate offered, and did not negotiate. It appears interns for salaries at this company are not negotiable, but I'd recommend for any other position.

Software Engineer I at Northrop Grumman
No Offer – Interviewed in San Diego, CA Oct 2012 – Reviewed Dec 9, 2012
Interview Details – Got an email saying they had my resume in their database and wanted to schedule an interview. I interviewed with two team leads, which consisted completely of behavioral questions and went very well. Got a call back for a second interview with one of those team leads, plus two others, plus the department head. It was mostly a rehash of the first interview with the only technical question being about Unit Testing. The team lead that interviewed me both times said I did great and they would do my review, which was about 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard from them since.

Junior Software Engineer at Northrop Grumman
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in San Diego, CA Jun 2008 – Reviewed Dec 8, 2012
Interview Details – After I sent in an application, I was contacted by HR through email and phone to set up an interview. The process seemed pretty straight forward. I had a panel meeting with three software program leads. A few questions were about my resume and to explain some points further. Most of the interview was personal questions and type of person I am. I had a few technical questions but they were basic like what is an object? After the interview wrapped up they said they would be in contact.
Negotiation Details – No negotiation over salary.
