Pros
I have worked at this company full time for almost 4 years. I started as an intern and was then offered a full time position after I graduated with my bachelors degree. The growth of this company in the last 4 years has been incredible. I have worked on both the service delivery side of this firm in our property tax department and have recently moved over to our global shared services side supported by our people group. I have seen this firm from two different perspectives and I can tell you from my experiences that Ryan ALWAYS puts great focus on their employees. Every position within this firm is considered important and every voice regardless of what position you are in is heard. I truly believe that our leaders have the employees of Ryan's best interest at heart. This is truly a great place to work and I do not see myself growing my career at any other company.
Cons
When I was working in service delivery, after 3 years as an associate consultant I asked for a promotion and was unable to be promoted because I did not have 12 hours of accounting even though I had a bachelors degree and had proved myself over the 3 years as an associate consultant. I learned from the ground up, was excelling at managing all of my responsibilities and handling work well beyond the position I was in. I would like to see the firm allow people to grow based on tenure and great manager reviews rather than the 12 accounting courses required in order for somebody to further their career. If we have employees that are stuck in a position even though they have a college degree and are doing great things for this firm, they just don't have 4 accounting classes on their transcript they shouldn't be reprehended for that. At what point does tenure and a job well done override our 12 hour accounting credit policy? Other than that, this truly is a wonderful company with incredible people!
