Pros

Good salary, moderate pressure, reasonable working conditions. Management is extremely poor about giving information and feedback. Overt favoritism on the part of management. Lack of consistency in treatment of employees. Failure to observe and manage problems, with preference going to an "everything is fine" attitude rather than dealing with problems proactively.

Cons

Overpriced benefits, management which threatens rather than enforces standards, Upper Management's obsession with the amount of money they can pile up at the expense of any other consideration.

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.
