Was a question and answer session, no real in-depth interview. I was expecting a more professional interview process and outcome. I was not at all satisfied with the interview process.

Took around three weeks after I applied online to hear anything back, then the process moved a bit more quickly after that. After passing their initial screening, I had two in-person interviews. The first interview was with two of the cyber security hiring managers, mix of technical questions and personality questions. The second interview was with one of the hiring managers and two cyber security analysts/engineers. I was thoroughly unimpressed at this point - the two cyber engineers were completely unprepared for the interview and asked no questions of substance to me, nor seemed to care one bit about my professional/research background. I asked more questions to them than they had for me, all the answers to my questions (topics that interviewers usually get excited about, like tech and computing questions) were totally unsatisfying/short and unprofessional in tone. Also, I had to wait more than a half hour for the interviewers to meet me in the lobby, as they were late. The interview process is not just for the employer to determine if the candidate is an excellent fit for the team, but also to determine if the employer is fit for the candidate. I'm an understanding and patient guy, no biggie if the interviewers are a little late or some things don't go as planned, but I felt the experience was so poor I should write a quick summary so that the process can improve. I had high hopes going into an environment that has excellent record in the defense and research realm, but this particular team at Northrop left me wishing I didn't apply and invest my time there in the first place. Fortunately, I have offers and much more positive experiences elsewhere... there are plenty other high tech places looking for technical talent that are much more respectful and timely in their interest in candidates.
