The perfect place for the curious, ambitious and entrepreneurial minds
Pros
Learning is at the core of the company's business and culture - not only do you get relevant training as you develop in your role but you also have an incredible amount of exposure to the world's most sophisticated investors, industry executives and global thought leaders as teachers. All roles from Analyst to Account Manager provide an unmatched opportunity to learn about the international markets and the forces that drive them by talking to people in decision making positions from across sectors, industries and geographies. The team is made of very similarly minded people with extensive international experience (studies, work and travel) and a shared ambition of growing with the firm. This creates an empowering atmosphere of collaboration where you get a real chance to shine and showcase your best abilities allowing for a fast career progression as CognoLink continues to expand.
Cons
Not so much the "cons" per se, but rather a bit of a heads up on what to expect - the dynamic work environment requires putting in extra effort and energy when needed and calls for a certain level of personal drive; being a self-starter most certainly helps. An inquisitive mind is also an asset in any research role just as much as advanced people skills - you will be communicating a lot with clients, specialists and colleagues and you most literally can't shy away from it.
