Life at Exponent

Just Five

That's the number of supervisors between the newest hire and our CEO, Catherine. She started as an Associate here in 1996. And today, she's one of 1,200+ people focused on critical business, not bureaucracy. At Exponent, our culture is one that actively supports and nurtures development. The game-changing result? An inspiring company where people want to stay and grow.

Flexibility is Key

We're parents, piano players, athletes, and adventurers. We value the rich lives our colleagues enjoy outside of work. Here you'll find a supportive culture that allows for personal autonomy, meaningful project work — and the ability to flex your own schedule. Our consultants have the control to balance their work and personal schedules so you can meet with clients, visit inspection sites, attend conferences, and make time for that parent-teacher conference, too.

DEI

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 

We believe that differences make us stronger: differences of opinion, points of view, and approaches. Investing in our people with equitable opportunities is part of our culture, and our efforts span recruiting, development, communication, and outreach.

All Together Now

Our teams collaborate across nearly every technical and scientific discipline. Over 90, in fact. We're a group of passionate people who thrive in the variety of our work and sharing our knowledge with each other. Together we push our skills even further to grow, innovate, solve, and succeed.
