Pros

I enjoy learning.

IBM offers (and helps you track) your perpetual technical self-development. There are literally hundreds of online courses and a broad range of educational opportunities. As I look back on 2020, I see I have completed some excellent certification courses in Python, AI, Quantum computing, Blockchain, Agile, and OpenStack, just to name a few.

I start my day with 10 minutes on the NordicTrack and 60 minutes of online self-development content. The hours are tracked automatically, so I see measurable progress.

Interestingly, many of my co-workers engage in a similar daily schedule.

If this is your kind of thing, you will enjoy it here.

Cons

You have to stay current with new technologies.

Advice to Management

Continue to acknowledge and reward Hyper Learners.
