Pros

Like many reviews state if you get put on a high performing team you will make decent bonuses, however it really depends on luck for what team you end up on. The employees are hard working and are willing to help each other out.

Cons

The main issue with this company is mid to upper management. Employees that were great at the technical aspects of the non-management positions were promoted to management, however they lack the skill set to be managers. These managers are kept because they at the end of the day bring in the money. This may work in the short term but eventually enough people will know that working for Ryan is not best for their career or professional growth because the managers don't know how to manage their teams or develop employee skills effectively. To resolve the currently dissatisfied employees, the CEO offered anyone not happy to work for Ryan the opportunity to leave with double severance in October 2016. 53 employees took him up on his offer or about 3% of their US employees. This is a fact they don't advertise when they are touting Ryan as a great place to work.

Pros

Culture is great amongst principle and executive team members. The work is not difficult if you have prior experience in property tax. Benefits are good. Great promotion track if you are willing to play the politics.

Cons

Political environment. Senior Consultants do not mind throwing newer people under the bus for their mistakes. Boundaries are not respected. You are expected to know everything with no real formal training, they do provide some training for the first few weeks but then it drops off and everything needs to be self taught. Management has favorites and you will know instantly.
