I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (El Segundo, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Initial phone interview followed by in-person with 2 engineering managers. Friendly, professional discussion. Should have brought images of prior relevant work experience (images/drawings). No trick or difficult questions in my case, but I did have a friend referral. Turns out it really wasn't the best fit of goals for either party.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northrop Grumman (San Diego, CA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Process took a little while. Submitted resume on-line, also gave it to contacts currently working for NGC. Took a while to hear anything back. Not sure which path got me in.
Phone call with recruiter first, then hiring manager 1-2 weeks later, then heard back about in person interview after another 1-2 weeks. Original interview was scheduled 2 weeks later, but I was able to get it moved sooner because I was considering another offer. Recruiters are easy to work with and they try to help you out.
