      Exponent is not for the typical engineer.

      Pros

      Exponent is perfect for a person with a technical background and an entrepreneurial spirit. Employees have the autonomy to establish their own practice and expertise where ever they see a need.

      Cons

      Employee success at Exponent is determined by the number of billable hours. Holidays and vacation days are included the calculation. Therefore, in order to meet the minimum success criteria, employees must be billable every working hour of the year. All marketing activities and professional development should be done on the employee's time so that the employee remains billable.

      Pros

      Great benefits. People are enjoyable to work with. Well-known in the industry. Always something different to work on.

      Cons

      The raises and bonuses for lower-level employees are below market for someone in a similar position with another company. Have significantly higher UT rate quotas than other consulting firms, which makes taking vacations or any personal time off difficult.

      Cons

      Follks that are not natural consultants (good technically AND good sellers and networkers) may get frustrated as the more nimble peers advance quickly.
