Pros

Many consultants successfully use Exponent as a stepping stone to larger tech companies. The project work can sometimes be very interesting and some consultants appreciate overtime and bonuses for long hours (albeit many feel they would earn more overall compensation at larger tech companies).

Cons

The company has very high expectations of its consultants and doesn't always provide the resources necessary to achieve their expectations. In order to grow after the first few years, consultants are generally expected to generate their own business, but some junior consultants feel they are not fairly given credit for business they help bring in. Many consultants feel the performance rewards are too delayed.

Great work and colleagues, but leadership lacks vision

Pros

Interesting work, great colleagues, and good pay.

Cons

Huge emphasis on metrics (billable hours and marketing credit), always pushed for more no matter what you have achieved, very little confidence in senior leadership who only cares about stock price.
