Not always. According to my (native speaker) son, /kohen/ has the accent on the /e/, but /golem/ has the accent on the /o/. (Also from the word /Salom/, there is a form that is used to describe the making-up by kids after a fight, /Solem/, which has the accent on the /o/. I can't say for certain, but it's possible that this is a borrowing-back from the Yiddish version of the word: /SOlem/, with the accent on the first vowel. It's also possible that /golem/ has the accent on the first vowel due to similar influences.)
