Minpunten
Job offers are handed out feverishly from Exponent because the company is attempting to hide their shrinking scientific talent from stockholders. Once you report to work there will be nothing for you to do and you will be blamed on a daily basis for their lack of active clients. Senior management in the materials practice is incompetent. As a junior member of the practice you will spend your time explaining technical principles to management and writing their reports. There is little mentoring provided to employees and no opportunity for career development in consulting. Working for this company should be considered a blemish in your work history. Future employers will view your work as lacking technical competency, depth and rigor. High turnover is the direct result of short sighted management greed and the company’s inability to form long term business development.
