Pros

You get to work with some of the smartest folks in the world.

Cons

You have two choices at exponent. You give them your life, or you are ok with being a low performer. It's clear that they don't care about you as a person. Didn't even get sent a complementary mask at the begining of the pandemic.... we went the entire pandemic claiming our work was "essential" but got so little support! upper management pretty much disappeared during covid, yet everyone was expected to work with no guidance or sense of hope. Don't worry though, when bonus time came around, upper management decided to reward the folks who sat at home becking orders instead of the ones who worked the 80 hour weeks! It's a joke, and regardless of the red flags waived no one listens

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.
