Northrop Grumman Systems Engineer interview experience

I applied through LinkedIn and got contacted for a panel-style phone interview with roughly five team members, and it was mostly behavioral. After that, the hiring manager reached out and basically signaled they were likely going to extend an offer after interviewing one more person, which made me believe things were going well.

Even though there were other points in the process that were different—like a video or phone setup that stayed respectful and prompt, plus some roles that discussed that technical aspects wouldn’t be tested heavily because training would happen on-site—the common
