Ask HN: What tech companies have great learning and development teams? I have always had a passion for learning and development, fostered through my time in the Navy in the Nuclear Engineering field. However, I stayed away from L&D in the corporate world because of the general bad reputation they always seemed to have (in HR...just 'trainers not educators, not technical, etc.) At Rackspace, for quite some time, I ran a portion of the product org building OpenStack products/services before moving officially into L&D and built a 31 person global L&D team. I would say the success of the team was having an entrepreneurial mindset (learning experiences, NOT training) and having a team that understood the tech. So, here's the question: What tech companies have great L&D teams and why? I want to understand what makes them great and hopefully collaborate. Thank you!!!! |
