I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (Gainesville, FL) in Oct 2020
Interview
My interview was two rounds, one with the HR where she asked about my experiences as well as some of my interests to make sure she found the right spot for me to apply for - then after that it was with two managers where it was behavioral questions and then technical questions. Tech questions were all theory

They called my phone number to contact me to schedule the interview. I interviewed 2 weeks later. I had 2 people interview me on Teams, neither of whom was the initial point of contact. After walking through my resume, they asked me a mix of behavioral and technical questions that were conceptual. The interview lasted 45 minutes total.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman in Dec 2025
Interview
I was referred, which seemed to put me past a couple of the rounds of interviewing. The actual interview was actually really enjoyable compared to my interviews with companies like Boeing and Amazon. The interviewers actually made me want to work with them. The questions were mainly trying to see if you knew what was in your resume, and there were some small technical questions, but nothing too difficult.
