Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Northrop Grumman.
Intern
The 30-minute managerial interview went smoothly — only 4–5 questions covering how I handle difficulty, resume highlights, communication style, and applying technical skills in practice. It wasn’t too hard, and I think I did well. The interviewer will ask follow-up questions to your answers. No offer yet, have to do a second round.
- Tell me about a time you handled difficulty.
- What tools do you use for communications?
Intern
I had a phone call with three interviewers. They mainly went over my resume and asked me to expand on experiences they thought were important for the internship. They also asked typical behavioral questions like asking about a time I faced a challenge.
- Tell us about a time you faced a difficulty and how you handled it.
- Describe a situation where you had to overcome a problem.
- Can you expand on some of your experiences that seem particularly relevant for this internship?
Placement Year
The interview process involved an initial questioning stage with two interviewers, followed by an assessment center where I, along with three other candidates, gave presentations. The focus was largely on company-related inquiries.
