Pros

Smart people, variety of project topics

Kontras

Most employees feel alone with no support during their career at Exponent. You are on your own in finding projects and if you don’t have a strong manager who can connect you to a steady stream of projects, you will struggle with increasing your UT. Having a low UT, you will be blamed and is the only criteria you will be evaluated with. There is no support system for new employees at least for the first year. Because of the UT significant importance, colleagues do not support each other to survive. Principals with many projects handle projects themselves with a small group of people around them to have their UT high and get higher bonus at the end of the year. Many other things I can add about the company terrible is the company culture, work life balance, etc. If you have other options, avoid Exponent at all cost.

Pros

Diverse work, intelligent and ambitious colleagues, above average compensation package for newly minted PhDs. Giving 2 stars simply because of these perks.

Kontras

Extremely poor work/life balance, high pressure on billable hours/utilization, cutthroat/burn-and-churn culture, weak management, poor mentorship opportunities (didn't feel inspired by many leaders), sink-or-swim onboarding (I think this has changed a little since I left), ton of gatekeeping around promotions, and worst of all.... there's very little humanity present in the culture. Almost everyone I knew didn't fundamentally feel as if their office, practice, and/or manager cared about them as a human. Bad managers get promoted so long as they're revenue generating. I would not recommend this company to be a person's first choice.
