Data Engineering Intern

May - August 2024 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I am so grateful to my manager and the DE Team, who were very patient and encouraging with me. The recruiting team and the time they took to welcome the interns to Ryan was also very much appreciated. I am happy with my contribution to the projects I worked on. I think I had a good balance between contributing to the projects, and learning and taking away new things. I also had an amazing opportunity to visit the Microsoft office in Irving for a workshop about Databricks, a data intelligence platform that Ryan is planning to incorporate into its services. I also love the culture and values at Ryan. Things like Ryan Break and myRyan maintains work-life balance. I also love Ryan's value of community service.

Advice

The important of communication. Don't be scared to ask for clarification, or worry that you have dumb questions. Also, don't be stressed out about the amount of your contribution, because the most important thing in an internship is to learn, and take away things that you can use for your career.

May 2024 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I felt very valued as an intern at Ryan! The internship retreat in Dallas was a big highlight, and it was beneficial to meet other interns as well as the practice leaders. For the role itself, I had a ton of autonomy and feedback from my manager and my peers which was helpful.

What I wish was different

Nothing! This was truly the best internship that I've had.

Advice

One piece of advice that I would share would be to be proactive with your projects and to make an effort to network with everyone on your team! It will be worth it!

Events Intern

May - August 2024 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

I loved how much creative freedom and trust I got from my manager and team members! They were open to my ideas and let me take control of projects I was given. As a second year intern, they gave me bigger projects to work on, which helped me grow in the field of events. The internship program is amazing and the campus recruiting team does a great job of making the experience exceptional. Getting to work with other team members on their projects was a great learning experience. I got to learn the different aspects of putting on different kinds of events. I got the opportunity to explore ways we do client entertainment and really see how it all works. My past two summers at Ryan have been amazing!

What I wish was different

Advice

I have a couple pieces of advice. Firstly, meet with your manager before your start date. It’s important to prepare your goals and what you want to work on during your time at your internship. Preparing these and meeting with your manager before your start date helps ensure you fulfill your time the way you want to. Secondly, don’t be afraid to ask for more work or ask questions. You have a couple of months to really dive into this experience and make it your own. It’s important to speak up if there is something you want to work on or feel as if there isn’t enough work for you to do. You can always reach out to your team members to see how you can assist on their tasks as well. Lastly, always work hard. You have a couple of months to use this experience as a way to not only learn, but to prove yourself as a great candidate. No matter how big or small the task or project is, always give it your all and bring 100% energy to the table.

June - August 2024 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

Everyone on the team was so welcoming and helpful. They were very patient with me as I learned how to navigate the platforms that we use and always made themselves available to answer my questions.

I am walking away from this experience with a great deal of knowledge that will certainly help me in my future career!

Advice

Do not be afraid to reach out to others outside of your team. Schedule 1x1s with team members who specialize in a different area to get more exposure to what goes in within your practice and to make meaningful connections!

Valuation Analyst

May - August 2024 • Pleasant Grove, UT

What I liked

You are going to do real work. This is not a 'get coffee for the boss' position. This is a you-do-full-time-work internship. It's very useful.

What I wish was different

Sometimes work is really heavy and sometimes work is really light. Overall it balances out.

Advice

Don't stress the first couple of weeks. It will make sense it due time.

Marketing and Events Intern

June - August 2023 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

Overall, this internship program was amazing! The internship kicks off with an internship retreat in Dallas lead by Campus Recruiting, and it's a great way to learn more about Ryan from employees, have onboarding with different teams like IT and Payroll, and network with other interns. My manager was super flexible and I was able to work hybrid. I interned with Marketing and Events, and felt very welcome on my first day of the internship. The culture and values at Ryan are present every day, one example being the awesome opportunity of being able to serve the community on RyanShares Day. You are welcomed with a RyanBuddy, which is an employee who is there to help you with anything! The work and projects my manager and team gave me was always meaningful and beneficial work, which made this internship feel so rewarding.

What I wish was different

Advice

Ask as many questions as you can! Your manager and team are there to support you and teach you about the practice area you are interning in. In the end, these two months are very rewarding and beneficial towards your future!

Personal Property Compliance Intern

May - August 2023 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

Overall, I had a great experience this summer. I worked a lot more with the CRE team because I am a real estate major, but all the work I did was similar to what we learn in school. I liked the fact that the work we did was impactful work, sometimes it felt like busy work, but overall I think that in someway it would be impactful. I also enjoyed the work culture. Everyone in the office was so welcoming and there were a lot of people who came into the office instead of working from home. I never felt bad for asking questions, and when I did everyone was very nice and super helpful. Lastly, I enjoyed the intern retreat to Dallas. It was a great first impression of the company and a really fun trip. Overall, I think that the work we did was great experience in seeing the different approaches to valuation.

What I wish was different

I am not sure I would change much. Maybe to allow interns to experience more client interactions or to experience the appeal process.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions! Ask anyone anything and I am sure they would be more than happy to help. Don't say no to any project. Every project is experience and you can learn something from everything you do.

Sales and Use Tax Intern

May - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Very welcoming environment with great coworkers. The intern retreat was an amazing experience and the resource pool was very strong. The work culture is very pressure-free and not overbearing. There is a strong sense of trust within my team and I had independence in my work while having resources to reach out to. Learning Sales and Use Tax also enabled me to be exposed to programs and software that I had no idea about but now have a proficiency/knowledge in. Overall, a great experience where good relationships were formed between coworkers with good exposure to tax processes, as well as skills applicable in and out of the field.

What I wish was different

The internship had points where there wasn't a large workload, leaving me to have some empty time on my hands. Maybe a steadier stream of assignments would've maximized my time here better. Never did I feel swamped by the workload.

Advice

You don't have to have expertise in accounting/tax to grasp the contents of this job. Sales and Use Tax may sound niche on the surface, but even being a Marketing and Business Analytics Major I was able to get into the groove of the work easily, and I found skills/resources that applied to my studies. In sum, you can learn a lot from this internship without needing to be an accounting/finance major.

Sales and Use tax

May - August 2023 • Boston, MA

What I liked

The culture at Ryan can't be beat. The team was always extremely helpful and welcoming and Garrett was an amazing manager who was always checking in. The work, itself, was rewarding and kept me busy throughout my time here. I also really enjoyed the hybrid schedule of just Tuesdays and Thursdays in office, as it added some face to face time as well as time at home. Also, very fun retreat to Dallas to kick off the internship and network. Overall, great experience.

What I wish was different

Not too much in all honesty. If I had to say something it would be to spread out the three coach calls a bit better, which would be difficult however due to the Ryan break we have towards the end of the internship.

Advice

Ask a lot of questions, take notes on what you are doing, and ask for more work when you are done with a task. Some things will be tedious, like any job, but stay focused as much as possible to add value to your team.

Platform Sales & Marketing Intern

May - August 2023 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

This internship was a fantastic way to learn what the corporate world has to offer and was a great way for me to learn if I wanted to work in this area. Ryan ensures that interns are properly equipped with the resources they need to achieve success and attain knowledge. I was constantly learning new things and would always have someone to go to if I had a question or needed to talk through an idea. I also had training beforehand to get me comfortable with tax concepts since I did not have a strong background in tax. Everyone was so welcoming and the environment was incredibly positive! I felt like part of my team from the get-go!

What I wish was different

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions! Managers and people on your team do not expect you to know everything- they want to see you be proactive and ask questions. This internship is truly a learning experience and asking questions helps to make the most of it!

Property Tax Consulting Intern

May - August 2023 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

Loved the internship program and experience. From day 1, I felt very welcomed and loved how the teams are not isolated and are able to work with each other. Throughout the first few weeks, we had consultants come and train us on different aspects of the job which gave us valuable information to tackle the learning curve and also made it easier for us to meet the team. Integrating into the company culture was smooth and felt natural. Good mix of independence and teamwork! The work I did was impactful from the first week, which was a pleasant surprise! Being able to tag in a multiple different projects was a great way to learn what the consultant position does and gives a better overview on the company itself. Throughout the summer, I felt like a valuable asset to the company and the managers have made it a great experience for us as well. The Practice Leader, Shane Moncrief, had his office close to 3 of us interns, which gave us a chance to speak to him with numerous times. I enjoyed the campus recruiting team being a big part of our summer. They would check in with us every week during the intern calls to give us updates and guest speakers throughout. The CEO, Brint Ryan, came to talk to us during one of these calls and gave us great insight on his company and how he was able to do what he did. The intern retreat was enjoyable as well and took place a week prior to the internship officially beginning. It was a great event and helped bond the team in Dallas before everyone went out to their respective offices. Overall, very satisfied with the internship and have learned a lot from what we've done so far! Would recommend the Property Tax Commercial side to those that are interested in real estate valuation and appraisals. That being said, fields in statistics, finance, accounting, MIS, data analytics, etc are all great fits for this position.

What I wish was different

For me, it was expected for us to be in the office 5 days a week, which I was happy about until the Atlanta commute/traffic began to take a toll on me. We had the opportunity to be remote, but generally needed them to be approved first with a valid reason for it to happen. I think a 3/2 or 4/1 of office days and remote days would've been ideal for me, but just a very very small thing I would have changed based on my role. I think that being in the office everyday helped me continue to focus on my work and gave us more opportunities to meet and build relationships with new people in the office.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask for help when you are confused or have too much on your plate, everyone here is willing to help or will find someone else who can. Also make sure to take initiative and look for work when you have capacity. This internship is mostly hands-off (no micro-managing) and is what you make of it. There are many resources available to you, so use them and learn more about the field!

Credits & Incentives Intern

May - August 2023 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a Credits & Incentives Intern at Ryan. The people I have met, experiences that I have had, and the knowledge that I have gained in these past 2 months are invaluable. Everyone in the Pittsburgh Office was incredible and I really enjoyed working alongside them everyday. A big reason why I would say my internship was successful was because of the daily communication between my manger and the consultants on my team who really helped guide and develop my knowledge of credits & incentives.

What I wish was different

The only thing that I wish had been different was with the Group Case Study. My group found the directions quite unclear and it required a lot of attention from our mentor.

Advice

Keep a journal for personal growth and complete your work in a timely manner and always ask what else you can do for your manger or your team.

Nothing

Be open to new ideas and ways of doing things.

Sales and Use Tax Intern

June - August 2021 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

Everything at Ryan is hands on work, and no busy work. I have had past internships where I am given small tasks just to keep me busy. But at my internship with Ryan every tasks I was given was either to expand my knowledge with taxation, or actual work that contributes to my teams success. This was very beneficial for when I decide to take my full-time offer, because I knew what my day to day tasks would look like.

What I wish was different

Ryan does have weekly internship meetings, however they were all over zoom. I wish instead of this or possibly in addition to this the first week of the internship they would have all the interns at one location and have a training camp. This would allow interns to get to know each other and also allow for a more hands on better training experience in my opinion.

Advice

Ask questions about the life cycle of the projects, because it gives you a better idea of why you are doing the tasks you are doing. No matter what job you end up taking rather that is at Ryan or elsewhere the Microsoft office suites are important to know how to operate so spend time getting to know those applications.
