Pros

They will hire you if you can pass background check.

Cons

Under bid the NSD contract then tried to screw several people over on the transition pay. Wouldn't pay any more than previous company paid even though everyone was aware of the work load increase from the idiots that go to sleep at night dreaming up a process knowing they have never taken a call. Then telling us that we have to comply. I use to love the place but not enough personnel to address they lost 90% of the original workforce within the first 4 months. In conclusion this is a horrible company to work for. Benefits suck primarily the medical, no hsa or FSA to help cover, employee assistance program is useless. No 401k match for the little guys, salary employees get it?! Not a career at all.

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.
