I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Dayton, OH)
Interview
Teams call interview, they required me to have my camera on but did not turn theirs on which is always kind of rude. They introduced themselves, I introduced myself, then they jumped into a barrage of technical questions. I dont really mind this in and of itself, but I wasn't given any heads up and the interviewers gave no feedback whatsoever on answers and didnt respond to my attempts at turning it more conversational/not as stiff. Perhaps thats my bad, and I shouldn't have tried to do that but ive had technical interviews that were a lot more pleasant in the past.

I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Rome, NY) in Jun 2026
Interview
3rd company that professes their love for me, only to turn around and reject me. Most recently, it was a rejection email saying I "didn't meet basic qualifications," despite their qualifications being a 4y IT Degree and SysAdmin experience. Both of which I have being in the Navy. They don't care about veterans as much as they claim.
The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a technical interview with two engineers, and a final panel with management. It focused on real-world troubleshooting, system design, and how I support end users in secure environments.
