Pros

1. Expert in its field 2. Flexible working environment 3. Decent pay 4. Decent benefits package 5. Lucrative bonus structure 6. Ryan Pride - employee reward program

Cons

1. Management non-existence. Management does not know what is going on in the office and never attempts to build team spirit. Teams are disorganised. 2. Poor communication. Important news does not come from the official source but from the coffee corner. Instead, non-important news are communicated frequently. 3. Lack of vision. Ambitious to grow but huge cost control measures in place do not do the trick. No one clearly knows what the company strategies are. 4. Ryan is not attracting the best talent. The good ones have left and most of them are not being replaced due to a hiring freeze. The ones left behind are contemplating of leaving. The ones that are eventually hired are not as good as the ones left. 5. Bonus structure does not work entirely. Everyone is protecting their own interests and trying to pounce on every single opportunity to get more bonus, instead of putting customers first and helping the company to grow. Too much politics. 6. All support teams are poor. IT could not implement new applications/systems and blocks all zip files because they do not know how to cope with potential virus/malware issues. Finance keeps on messing up with invoice payments with invoices being months overdue. HR takes 3-4 months to hire a new/replacement personnel eventhough the candidate has already accepted the position. 7. Company is concentrating too much on how they are perceived in the media and within the industry. Pointless local awards, cherry-picked high client satisfaction scores and community outreach programs are cherished more than the employees. 8. Grim current working environment due to all of the above.
