I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Palmdale, CA) in Jun 2020
Interview
Applied online in June on a Friday. Heard back within a few hours. Recruiter wanted to set up quick 10 min phone interview the following week to discuss about the opportunity and set up an interview with hiring manager. Had a panel interview the same week with 6 people, a few managers and engineers. Really straightforward interview mostly asking about resume and a few star questions. (Know your resume inside out). Received Verbal offer same day, waiting on official offer.
Interview questions [6]
Question 1
Describe a project you've done and what are the challenges you've faced
Had an Introductory call with recruiter, One hour behavioral interview with manager, pretty standard questions for entry level engineer that were not too technical. No presentation needed and on-boarding was smooth
The questions were mostly all behavioral. There was 1 question where they just wanted me to describe a project. They wanted to know how I approached the problem, what resources I used, if I ran into any problems and how I overcame them.
