Current Employee – been working at Ryan, LLC full-time for less than a year

ProsRyan LLC offers a flexible work environment which empowers employees to be in control of their work hours, work location and personal committments. Everybody has the potential to earn above-market compensation. Assignment of professionals to teams results in pro-active efforts to generate value for the firm's clients and a sharing of skills, knowledge and friendship among team members.

In-house technical training is not only excellent but also better than what I experienced in working at a big 4 accounting firm. The training provides in-depth technical education and practical skills on how to perform and document tax recovery reviews.

ConsI do not have any cons to note.

Advice to Senior ManagementNothing to recommend

ProsCool people to work with so far...they seem very helpful.
I can lots of potential in the type of projects and engagements I can be involved in.

Pittsburgh, PA (US)

Current Employee – been working at Ryan, LLC full-time for less than a year

ProsMost people view tax compliance as boring and tedious, but Ryan makes the tax environment much more interesting. Learning about each client will teach you a little bit about many different industries. Each client and state also brings up different issues, which causes you to research specific case by case issues - rather than doing the same thing every day. The flexible work environment is great.

ConsThere are some deadlines that cause you to work long hours. Since everything is results driven, you are encouraged by managers to work long hours into the evenings, on occasion.

Advice to Senior ManagementEncourage team leaders and managers to allow their team members to use the myRyan work environment more freely. Many team members feel guilty about working less than 9-10 hour days.

Toronto, ON (Canada)

Current Employee – been working at Ryan, LLC full-time for more than 10 years

ProsEmployees are encouraged to make suggestions for improvement or make to make changes to imporve processes and are allowed to run with new endeavors or initiatives without much interferece from senior management. Whenever an employees takes charge of a new initiative they are typically acknowledged for their efforts.

ConsIn some situations senior management agrees to or decides to take on some work or project without consulting the groups affected or considering the current capicity of the groups involved.

Advice to Senior ManagementWhen action items are assigned at Town Hall meetings a report back to the employees should be made to keep them informed on the status of the action item. When senior management accepts a meeting they should do their best to attend the meeting or send a note they will not be attending. Too often meetings are accepted by senior management and they do not show up. Where they do show at a meeting they are almost always late.

Current Employee – been working at Ryan, LLC full-time for more than 3 years

ProsRyan provides amazing flexibility. I can work when I want and where I want as long as the work gets done. There is also amazing growth opportunity at this firm. Ryan places the future of your career on you. There are no ceilings as long as you are willing to put in the work. Also, upper management is very responsive to requests and concerns that are brought up by staff.

ConsHighly competitive work environment which leads to the burning out of great employees. Although myRyan is suppose to provide time off, I often am so busy that I do not take as many days off as I would at other companies.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what your doing.

ProsMyRyan - allows a work-life balance, especially if you have a young family.
Some of the best professionals in their field work at Ryan. Excellent atmosphere and work ethics.

Denver, CO (US)

Current Employee – been working at Ryan, LLC full-time for less than a year

ProsThere is no micro-managing; trust is apparent in the Firm; many free courses in the realm of business and bettering oneself are available via RyanNet (the Firm's intranet); always recognized and appreciated for stellar work and the carte blanche to work from home!

ConsOn "Casual - Charitable Friday's" you must pay $5.00 (or more, depending). In the oil and gas industry it's $2.00 and at other property tax firms it's free.
