Vantaggi
So many projects available to work on. There are a lot of intelligent and creative problem solvers here at Exponent, which makes for an intellectually stimulating work atmosphere. As a recent PhD grad, you really feel valued and are given a lot of freedom to explore different kinds of work. Company is very generous in its investment in your personal development.
Svantaggi
Burnout is real here. Everyone talks about it and it takes some getting used to. Finding a work-life balance requires careful planning. There's plenty of work to go around and watching your coworkers drown in work makes you want to help, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed. The corporate structure is modelled similarly to other consulting and law firms, which does require you to log your billable time each week.
