Exponent Engineer reviews

No training... you are thrown into the deep-end of the pool. If you survive, it's a Pro. There is a sparse marketing department that only really feeds the top tier. You must reinvent yourself annually until you find a niche (again, luck & timing). Work culture promotes hoarding of work, work credit, and marketing credit. There is a consistent push to move to management and principle even if the science and research is your core love and talent. Work/Life Balance is tough if your are married and/or have children.

Marketing (selling) yourself (and the firm) is important -if you don't have that attitude, it is tough to advance. It is much like other professional services firms in that respect.
