Vantaggi

- Some of the individuals were nice

Svantaggi

- Work life and personal life balance - Never enough work to maintain an adequate UT *Therefore the work environment was very competitive *There were too many big and unjustifiable egos (e.g. just because you are a "Managing Scientist/Engineer" and have a high UT for managing a Principal's case load (e.g. glorified administrative work) does not mean you are a stellar scientist or engineer) - Work that was available to maintain a UT was not interesting (e.g. deposition summaries) - Penalized for trying to find work because marketing for work was not billable - Salary - NEVER received a raise - Expensive and very poor health insurance - Did not value scientists or engineers who valued the scientific process or scientific principles *This was a factory for recruiting individuals with graduate degrees to then just churn out hours to make money for the firm *The company meetings always focused on revenue and outstanding AR

Vantaggi

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).

Svantaggi

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.
