Pros

Interesting and important work. Never a dull moment. Co-workers are excellent to work with for the most part, and they are truly experts in their fields. Plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge and grow your career.

Cons

Very demanding work. Timelines are often tight and there is not enough people to do the work. Some managers do not push back on clients enough on having reasonable timelines which would help the work to be higher quality. There is little effort to cultivate a good company culture.

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.
