IBM’s employees can take various online courses
Pros: We, IBM’s employees, have access to various online courses (e.g. Your Learning, Udemy) and we can learn whatever subject we want. For instance, some colleagues focus on developing business core skills while others are studying data sciences and AI. We can keep on learning any topic at our own pace besides working. 

These online courses furthermore accelerate our motivation. After completing online courses, we receive certification badges. The badges prove our skills (what we have learnt from the courses) and then encourage us to assign to our desired project. In addition, our learning time and the number of badges also become the areas of annual evaluation. Thus, we will receive rewards if we take curious/interesting courses and develop our skills as much as possible. 

I personally would like to keep learning something new and unfamiliar while working. I appreciate these online learning contents and enjoy taking them.
Cons: The working time depends on the project. 
(I have to work late as my project manager is a night person.)
