One of our firm’s top priorities is to be the employer of choice for the best and the brightest, helping us offer top quality service and expertise to our clients on every level.
We know the way you work is an important factor in how happy you are while you work (and beyond). So we’ve reinvented the landscape — and how we engage and reward employees — so you always feel connected to your role in the firm’s success while maintaining flexibility in how you go about fulfilling that role.
In our flexible environment — which includes 100% in the office, remote or hybrid, in addition to other options — we have invested heavily in technology to enable all of our employees to work from where it makes sense for them. That same technology is also helping us ensure we don’t lose sight of the tight-knit culture we’re known for, allowing our teams to create and sustain meaningful relationships whether working on the same floor or in different states. Keeping a personal connection and making memories together as a team, while meeting employees where they are in their lives, is truly important to us.
In addition to finding flexibility for each employee, our culture is rooted in technical excellence and in giving you what you need to be the best. We provide every opportunity to help you continue developing your skills and expertise throughout your career. We continually offer training in core competencies to upskill and reskill as our industry and our clients’ needs change — or as your professional interests and goals change. As part of our inclusive environment, we also prep the younger generations for a variety of leadership positions early on to ensure new ideas are always at the forefront of our business.
Whether you join us as an intern or a more experienced hire, you will have the opportunity to work directly with internal and/or external clients from Day 1.
We provide opportunities to specialize in various industry and technical areas, and to change that path if you find yourself ready for something new. Our flexible and dynamic organization also allows you to lead when you are ready — without waiting for “seniority.” Staff at all levels are involved in policy and practice decisions, and non-partners have held key roles in their departments and in generating new business for the firm. We also offer specialized groups to provide additional mentoring opportunities, such as groups focused on business development and technical specialties.
Our collaborative environment encourages professionals to share information throughout the firm. From an accessible executive management team to our Welcome Committee designed to help new employees feel at home as quickly as possible, we encourage ideas, questions and collaboration at every level.
We work hard, but we know how to play hard, too. Cohen & Company encourages an energetic culture and camaraderie across the firm. Our wellness, community and social committees often turn business colleagues into genuine friends. We spend time together outside of work getting to know our colleagues' families and friends.
Guided by our Cohen Cares Committee, we encourage employees to participate in community projects, hold in-office fundraisers, form teams for local races and bowl-a-thons, serve on professional and community boards, and mentor local youth. And we pay you to do it!
From technical trainings to business concepts, you’ll have a dedicated learning path from our rigorous course selection. Ongoing learning also includes regular department brainstorming sessions, interactive department meetings and trainings throughout the year, as well as a three-day annual training on technical, business and personal development topics. We also offer LinkedIn Learning and Becker for supplemental training.
Often it’s the non-traditional perks, such as access to extensive training through Cohen University and a flexible work environment, that we believe make all the difference in a great work experience. A few other perks include tickets to sporting and theatrical events, a firm wellness program, as well as opportunities to socialize with staff through informal get togethers and team-building events.
