Pros

Maternity & parental leave offered (and supported by supervisors and leadership) is one of the best I've heard of in the US. Opportunity for extended maternity bonding time, as well as paternity leave, so both parents can hit pause and take time for family.

Cons

Initial benefit can be difficult to navigate, but Exponent has a parents group that is a great resource. Also, colleagues are always available to share their knowledge.

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.
