What fuels my passion to work at Cogent are the patients. The 33-year-old woman with untreatable ovarian cancer. The man 2 months older than me with metastatic melanoma. The 76-year-old woman with lymphoma, who, thanks to treatment-induced remission, was able to hold her first grandchild.

The biggest appeal about the culture at Cogent was the promise of a transparent, fast-moving, and collaborative work environment.
