Pros

There are absolutely no pros to working for this company. Stay as far away from them as you can! A real disgrace, the VA should be ashamed! Especially when this is not even an American company! A NON-AMERICAN company providing services to AMERICAN VETERANS?!?

Cons

How can I count the ways? 1. Took over the VA contract and offered all existing workers a minimum of $5 less per hour than they were currently making! (More than $10,000 per year!!!) 2. Would not share any benefit information until you were already working for them! 3. Medical premiums were increased by over 900%! 4. Can't choose just vision or dental coverage without choosing medical coverage! 5. Required to pay for life insurance and EAP, which, by the way, is provided on the phone! 6. No management on-site from main office after "transition." (Guess they are afraid to be here.) I could go on but what's the use? We got screwed & not so much as a thank you!

Pros

ASM Research provides a collaborative engineering environment that empowers technical professionals to take ownership of massive, enterprise-scale performance architectures. The leadership strongly recognizes dedication and impact, creating a culture where mentoring peers and driving operational excellence are deeply valued. It is an ideal workplace for engineers who thrive on solving complex technical challenges while safeguarding mission-critical systems.

Cons

While ASM Research offers great stability, the specialized nature of long-term government contracts can sometimes slow down the adoption of modern, open-source automation tools and frameworks. Navigating the rigid compliance and bureaucratic layers required for federal systems can occasionally extend project timelines and administrative overhead. Additionally, engineers looking for rapid exposure to fast-paced, commercial tech stacks may find the environment more focused on maintaining and optimizing legacy enterprise architectures.
