High Intensity - Great Place to work

Pros

High energy, driven place to work. Unlike other professional services firms, you have the opportunity to make your own way. Taking initiative is rewarded. Flexibility is a key component of the culture, but don't get me wrong, this is not for lazy people.

Cons

the policy driven nature of the firm can be a little stifling, but much of it is done in the name of client service which Ryan takes very seriously.

The Truth About Ryan

Pros

Ryan does a poor job recruiting outside of Dallas so for the most part if you have a pulse and a degree in anything you can get a job in one of the satellite offices doing tax work.

Cons

Apparently upper management has sent emails to employees to try to get them to post positive reviews and hide the negative reviews so of course the upper management in some of the offices with something to gain by trying to make it seem like this is a good place to work will post positive reviews. - Ryan will have problems getting new clients with the widespread knowledge of the fraud that took place involving even a former Principal going to prison. - The bonus system is a joke. Just because a small amount of the people here have lucked out and been on some big projects that were handed to them and have earned large bonuses the majority of people here aren't making any significant bonuses. - Describing the company as "Entrepreneurial" is an excuse for paying their employees low base salary's. As a staff member you are at the mercy of whatever projects get handed to your team. Garbage projects will equal garbage bonuses. Most of the good projects will stay in Dallas. -This bonus system has promoted a culture of greed and disgruntled employees who aren't being given the larger revenue projects. - HIGH turnover. I have never seen so many people leave a company. It is particularly bad in IT and HR. People are constantly leaving from the various practices also and then there work gets passed on and people have no idea what happened with the project.

Pros

Happy 25th Anniversary to Ryan! Ryan has provided a tremendous career opportunity and I’m glad I made the choice to join. What attracted me to this organization, and what causes me to stay, is that this is truly a merit-based environment where hard work and results do not go unnoticed. At Ryan, I have access to learning opportunities that grow my skills and I appreciate that Ryan has entrusted me with work responsibilities that have really stretched me. I enjoy working with high-caliber professionals and there is a sense of drive and purpose in the air, all focused on making a positive difference for our clients. When people ask me to “describe a typical day”, I don’t have your standard go-to answer. Every day is not the same old routine and that might be one of the things I enjoy most – the variety. Every day brings a new challenge and opportunity and it’s great to be part of a growing organization.

Cons

It can take time to find the right person for open positions. That presents a challenge, but I'm glad the company maintains tight hiring filters and hires the most qualified applicants.
