Riveron reviews

A fun, growing and collaborative atmosphere

Quite simply, the culture. After spending years in big four audit, I had reached my limit working in perpetual busy season with little appreciation. Riveron was the only professional service organization I interviewed with during my transition out of big four. I’ve known quite a few individuals who moved to Riveron from my old employer, and thought I owed it to myself to at least interview. I was assured by friends and interviewers the culture was unique, but I had my doubts. Three months into my employment I can say that they were correct; the culture is incredible. Riveron is roughly ten years old, started by ex-big-four all stars. In its short existence, its grown to approximately 200 employees in eight cities around the US. They hire the best and brightest out of public accounting and industry, and it has been a true joy to work with such a talented team. Riveron believes their most important asset is their people, and everything I’ve seen so far would substantiate their claim. Coworkers are more like extended family; everyone has a nickname, plays in intramural leagues, and takes fantasy football incredibly serious. My first few weeks I was unable to walk by a stranger in the office; everyone would introduce themselves, offer to take me to lunch, and genuinely want to build a relationship. The pay structure is unique; they offer a base salary and additionally, pay for each hour worked. My first few months I felt like I was on vacation, averaging 45 hours each week, a stark contrast from my 60+ average work weeks in public accounting. I also very much enjoy the entrepreneurial culture of such a young, successful and growing firm. After my first month of employment I received a hand written card from Landon Smith, CEO, thanking me for joining the family.
