Northrop Grumman Benefits

Interns get no benefit, other than paid holiday leave and 401K I enjoyed my several internships here, and would recommend to a friend.

Matching 401K plan to 4% if emp contributes 8% - but beware of vesting requirement - up to 3 years.

They match 401k contributions up to 8%.

Regarding 401k benefits: - Less than 5 years of service = 6% company match when employee contributes 8% - 5+ years of service = 7% company match when employee contributes 10% - Vested after 3 years of service Regarding vacation and PTO: - Different PTO accural rates based on years of service (0-1 years rate is 120 hours/year) - New hires (including re-hires and intern-to-full-time conversions) receive a one-time deposit of 40 PTO hours - 10 company holidays in a calendar year

You get 10 paid holidays every year. Six are set holidays and four are floating to fill in year end holiday break and Friday after Thanksgiving. Northrop has a 9/80 schedule so floating holidays move around depending on where off Fridays fall. In addition, you get 120 hours of PTO. This is not exactly 3 weeks with a 9/80 schedule.

The company offers great health, dental, vision plans. They do offer a good 401K plan and will match dollar for dollar up to a certain percentage.

Healthcare options are mediocre and costly, oop max goes up and up, no company perks ZERO unless you count 9/80 schedule, no free anything not even coffee except for a free cookie and drink a couple times a year when there's a successful launch, clubhub have gone from good to nearly nonexistent - just 1 baseball game and a mediocre meal. We can no longer but extra PTO, if you need a little extra at the beginning of the year then you'd best save it up in previous years. It takes a very long time to increase your PTO accrual. 10 years just to get an extra week from the starting 120. Since I was already there before we were acquired by NGIS, I won't get an increase in PTO, for another 6 years!

Decent benefits cost. 8% company match. Other companies slightly cheaper plans. Pretty basic nothing outstanding or unique

Expensive health insurance. I ended up canceling my coverage and getting it somewhere else.

401K is very competitive, Vacation and sick time is nothing to write home about. After being with the company a few years there's not much benefit of sticking around.
