Entrevista
Basic Phone Interview that gives you a chance to go over your resume. If that goes well you get flown out to the office for an in-person interview. If you are being considered for more than one program/project then expect a longer (possibly all day interview). If it's just one program/project then expect maybe an hour to two hours. You're going to be interviewed by your manager(s) and prospective coworkers. It's ok if you're nervous just tell them about yourself and elaborate on what you told them during the phone interview. The questions they ask you are usually relevant to the program/project that you will be added to. For example you focused on Communications in school then expect a basic communication question or be able to talk about a project related to that experience. They might have videos for you to watch and they'll tell you more about what you could be doing.
The questions aren't too difficult just know your basics.If the job description has to do with object oriented programming, for example, then it would be prudent to know and be able to explain what object oriented programming is in a nutshell. What's polymorphism, abstraction, etc.? Don't worry if you don't remember some rigid definition you memorized in school just explain it the way you know it. If you think you can show it to them better than telling them then by all means let them know that and show them. Just prove that you are competent, can do the job, and are personable...they called you for a reason and flew you out for a better one.

I didn't think any of the questions were difficult, unexpected, or off-the-wall. But here's an example: You've been given an assignment, a piece of code to write, and you're reaching your deadline and realize "Hey! There's know way I'll be able to finish this in time!" What do you do?
They contacted me for an in person interview and then asked me leet code style questions. After the interview I heard back from a recruiter who set up another phone call with me

Very poorly conducted and rushed interview process. The team seemed to contradict themselves in their perception of the duties required for the job, in addition to their perception of my experience and qualifications. One senior member of the team seemed to have not read my resume at all in advance for the interview, only reading it during the interview, and then sarcastically and condescendingly asked why it seemed like I had "nothing on the resume that seems applicable to the position". At that point, the interview went from conversational to interrogational, and additional members of the team continued to condescend and ask questions irrelevant to my experience that were apparently relevant to the job description, that had been left out of the official job requisition. Overall, it was a complete mismatch in expectations due, in my perspective, to poor communication and organization amongst the team at Northrop Grumman, and ended up being a complete waste of time for me. I would not recommend working with this team and am not interested in interviewing for further positions at Northrop Grumman.

Technical questions and behavioral questions (STAR formatting) with the normal what draws you to work for us. Microsoft Teams meeting with a panel to review answers. Took roughly 1 hour and it was a very straightforward and easily made process.
