Pros

My position belongs to technical support, it is a technical position. What I know is that the company provides a wealth of learning resources for employees in technical positions. These resources include O'Reilly, Udemy, and some Cloudera internal learning materials websites. Employees in technical positions can also relatively independently choose the technical direction of career development according to their interests and the business content they are responsible for.

Cons

Employees in technical positions can also relatively independently choose the technical direction of career development according to their interests and the business content they are responsible for.
