Pros

great benefits, generous vacation (accrual to 40 days), I'm allowed to get my duties done without someone looking over my shoulder all the time. As long as I can get the high-priority jobs done on time, my low-priority jobs can get done in rotation so I'm not stuck doing the same things for hours on end. This wide variety of tasks makes the day fly by.

Cons

Not enough training. Software designed for our company can be awkward to find a way through at times. Trying to get all the employees to use the same design for reports is a challenge when they are unwilling to learn how to use the forms because they are under pressure to produce and bill.

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.
