I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman
Interview
The interview process was very straightforward. It typically featured a panel interview. who asked pretty thought-provoking questions. However, information about the benefits should have been provided in more detail prior to joining the company.
Average interview process. They use the STAR method, like every other employer, to evaluate questions. There was only two interviews (one with HR and one with the hiring manager). Takes forever to get an interview after you submit a resume, but the time from interview to notification was pretty short.

Question 1
Describe a time where you failed a task and what you learned from it.
