I applied online. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (New York, NY) in Aug 2013
Interview
two phone interviews, then an email questionaire, then put in front of customer, almost no support with how to handle the customer, no interaction with hiring manager despite several attempts which seemed to be a bother. meeting with customer was a disaster because of the lack of preparation by NG hiring manager. questions were all softball even though position was highly technical.

Question 1
why were you let go after 24 years of top performance?
Interview process at Northrup Grumman was standard and in-line with aerospace and defense companies. Interviewers were friendly and responsive throughout the process. The Northrup Grumman process was transparent, clear, and appreciated.

I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (London, England)
Interview
Competence based interview, panel of two covering mixture of behavioural and technical competency based questions. Felt like a fair assessment, with a good amount of time allocated for the interview.
Interviewed over the phone. Interviewed claimed to be having a bad day and seemed disinterested or tired during the interview. This definitely effected the interview process and job placement. The other interviewer was much more attentive and communicative.
