Reactie van Exponent

We have a total compensation philosophy. Associate and Senior Associates earn a competitive base salary plus they are paid one times their hourly rate for hours beyond 40 in a week when they are highly billable on client projects. In addition they earn an annual bonus which is tied to their personal performance. Employees who contribute high value to their internal and external clients and colleagues reap excellent financial rewards. Additionally Exponent contributes 7% of base salary to the employee's 401(k) every year without requiring an employee contribution.

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).
Minpunten
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.
