Voices of our employees

Every company I’ve ever worked for has had a good mission statement on paper. I can honestly say that CFA Institute truly embodies its mission, day in and day out. There is a pride that comes with the reputation CFA Institute has created for itself over time, and I believe it is a direct result of that mission.
Tim Schwichtenberg Director, Learning Technology, U.S. CFA Institute employee since 2023
This is a good place to work. The culture stands out with lots of growth opportunities. I always talk highly of this to others.
