Pros

-You are valued for what you think and the work product you create. The work is rewarding. It requires you to think and learn. -You get to be the "good guy" recovering undue tax paid to ineffectively run governments and redistributing it to the client. -Salary and benefits are competitive. Pays 80 percent of your cell phone bill, tuition reimbursement... -Excellent work life balance. Work when and where you want to, just get the job done (depending on your manager that is)

Cons

-Over aggressive growth targets. Since 1991, Ryan has achieved a year-after-year growth rate of 20 percent. This kind of growth rate is unsustainable for any company. To continue sustaining the 20 percent growth rate, Ryan has acquired companies that do not align very well with its business model (e.g., Thompson Reuters Tax Compliance). The added debt from these acquisitions has caused Ryan's culture to suffer by adding more stress to bring in revenue. -The 5-year sabbatical benefit should be done away with. Upon reaching 5 years with the company, Ryan says it will let you take a 1 month paid sabbatical. The fine print however says you have to remain employed for one full year after taking the sabbatical, otherwise you will have to pay back the company one month's salary. And you also need to get executive level approval before taking the sabbatical. Just get rid of the sabbatical. It's not really a benefit when you have to jump through so many hoops to enjoy it. -No Christmas parties anymore, really? "Of all the cheap lousy ways to save a buck!" - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation -401k match is decent, but still a little weak

Unethical, Breach of Client Trust

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible Hours, Ability to Work Remotely

Cons

Hours, Pay, Unethical Colleagues, Client Data Breach: I have many episodes of working 48 hours with no sleep. Leaving the office, working through the night on my computer and watching the sun come up only to head back into the office with no sleep. Ive had my ma Agee’s present my work (my innovation) as their own. I’ve had peers present my work (internally and externally) as their own with no acknowledgement to me. I’ve notified management of this severely unethical behavior and the end result was that no one cared. My colleague was promoted eventually. I’ve discovered that a Director and Partner submitted invoices from Client ABC to the IRS for a refund claim related to Client XYZ. This is a clear data breach. Instead of taking proper steps, it was all hush-hush and they simply remove the invoices from the data portal and never took proper steps to notify the client or the IRS. I’ve alerted the the President (D. Chronis) to many unethical behaviors, which he acknowledged observing, and yet did nothing to stop or to remedy. I am still at the firm waiting to get paid my bonus on projects I co pelted years ago. When bouses allocation comes, there is massive cronyism in the the Partner will cut in his friends into the bonus pool even though that friend had little to no work on the engagement. I will leave the firm once I receive my payout for my last engagements. I’ve listened through the very thin walls to manager level people trash talk other managers, not because that managers’s work is an issue, but because it is a strategy to jockey himself into position for a higher bonus. This place is a true nightmare and the majority of the positive reviews on here are fake. This firm only grows through acquisition, not through organic growth. Basically, they buy up smaller firms, that’s it. This will be the worst career move of your life, unless you can throw your ethics out the door and operate like the backstabbing sharks do where you succeed by stealing ideas and focusing on trashing the person next to you.
