The green and blue blocks here can be considered as professional channels, and the orange blocks are management channels. Let's explain it in detail.
Professional channel
Professional channels are divided into six major levels, and each major level is divided into three minor levels, namely 1. 1, 1.2, 1.3, 2. 1, 2.2, 2.3, 3./kloc-0. The names of these six levels should be called: beginner, experienced person, senior (backbone), expert, senior expert and authority, which is the green to blue channel shown in the above picture. However, in actual implementation, the company's level 5 (senior expert) is vacant, and there is only one level 6 (authority) in history, that is, the chief scientist Sun (rank T6) PS: 5.
However, there are many types of professional channels, because engineers, designers, products, markets and editors cannot all be managed and promoted according to a standard, so it is necessary to subdivide professional channels. At present, Tencent has about 80 professional channel categories, but to sum up, they are mainly four categories:
T-channel: technical channel, including R&D, visual design, interaction, operation and maintenance, etc.
P channel: product/project channel, including sub-channels such as planning, operation and project management.
M channel: market channel, including sub-channels such as market, strategy, website editing and business development.
S channel: professional channel (functional channel), which is the most complicated channel, will include various sub-channels such as company administration, secretarial, procurement, legal affairs, finance, accounting, human resources and public relations.
Therefore, an employee's rank expression consists of two parts: channel name+rank. For example, a classmate said that he was T3. 1, which means technical channel, advanced-basic, etc. If it is a research and development line, it is the first rank of senior engineer.
How to promote internal channels? Generally speaking, there are two evaluations a year. If you pass the examination, you will be promoted to metre. If the deputy level reaches level 3, you will be promoted to major. According to the latest policy, the basic functional positions are set as 1. 1, undergraduate graduates are 1.2, and graduates with master's degree or above are 1.3. As for the promotion criteria, there are two parts: 1 is a hard indicator. 2 is your defense (professional channel interview). In principle, before 2.2, the requirements for hard indicators are not high. Starting from 2.3, hard indicators are required and interviews are strict. Level 3 is a threshold, because it will be more difficult to get promoted after 3. 1, including teaching in a company, and level 4 is more difficult for many channels, especially small professional channels. Generally speaking, there are more experts in M and T channels (basically every department will have 1~2), and there are fewer experts in S and P channels (very few in the whole company).
Management channel
The management channel, that is, the orange part in the above picture, is divided into three echelons: grass-roots, middle-level and high-level In the company, it is simply called backbone, middle level ... and high level, so it is generally not called boss, general manager and so on.
In Goose Factory, grass-roots managers include team leaders and directors, who are generally responsible for multiple teams. Middle managers refer to GM (general manager of each department) or people with the same level of treatment, and senior managers are naturally above VP.
Only pay attention to the promotion of grassroots managers. The basic requirement is the professional rank of 3. 1, and the individual 2.3 initiation process is not excluded (due to the increase in the number of employees of 3. 1 in recent years, this kind of special approval is rare). Before the formal appointment, there will be a process of taking charge of business independently, important business and leading the team to take charge of important business. In other words, in practice, an employee has already undertaken before being appointed as a grass-roots manager. Before the formal appointment, you will receive strict management training (which will be discussed later) and initiate a 360-degree evaluation, including your future cooperation team leader, superiors and subordinates. After passing the evaluation and HR evaluation, there will generally be a formal GM defense, which will be formally appointed after completion.
After being appointed as a grass-roots manager, there are several levels of continuous promotion, including deputy head, chief leader, deputy director, director and senior director. The promotion during this period mainly depends on the overall evaluation of your team, your personal evaluation and the needs of organizational structure. In general, the director is responsible for the management of multiple teams at the same time. Not much to say here.
The ranks of similar middle managers will be graded, including assistant general manager, deputy general manager, general manager, heads of business lines (general managers of many departments), assistant VP, VP, SVP, e VP, SEVP, various O's, presidents and CEOs. It seems that Tencent's management team is very long, but in fact the company still maintains a very flat structure, which is also because of the agility, agility and speed of Internet companies.
Interchange of professional and management channels
In many peer companies, professional channels and management channels are interchangeable, in other words, it also provides better development space for some employees with strong professional ability but unwilling to take the management route. Similarly, Tencent has two channels. In the top screenshot, we can also see that professional level 3 often corresponds to grassroots managers, and professional level 4 often corresponds to middle managers.
In Tencent, the two channels are not an either-or relationship, that is, grass-roots managers themselves keep advanced professional channels, and they also need to improve their professional level by improving their professional quality, accumulating project experience and giving lectures. Middle-level managers generally maintain their professional level of 4 experts or 3.3, but after middle-level managers, the role of professional channels will gradually fade.
Therefore, it is also an important measure to solve the rising space of technical houses with more than 4 levels of T-channel.
Training and growth system
Link:/question/20295934/answer/28653186
In the process of promotion, the training system is indispensable. There will be some compulsory courses and elective courses for both majors and management. At the same time, the promotion of professional channels above the advanced level basically has the rigid requirements of teaching.
In the promotion of management rank, employees must pass the hidden dragon training when they are promoted to grass-roots cadres, and grass-roots cadres must pass the hidden dragon training when they are promoted to middle-level cadres, which is also equivalent to some hard indicators and necessary conditions.
Recruitment level and treatment issues
As mentioned above, undergraduate course 1.2, master degree or above 1.3.
There is a basic requirement for the classification of social recruitment, that is, no novices are recruited (that is, 1 grade), so the lowest grade is 2. 1 grade. At the same time, considering the low probability of job-hopping to Tencent in the first year of graduation, it can basically be considered that the recruitment is above 2.2:
65438+ 0~2 years after graduation: 2. 1~2.2.
Social recruitment after graduation for 3 years or more: 2.2~2.3
Graduated for 3 years or more, senior talents in the industry: 3. 1~
Of course, this is a general situation and requires work experience in Internet-related fields. Do you think the promotion speed in Tencent is slower than that of employees? It's true. As some students who graduated from Tencent said before, it is less difficult to promote before 2.2. If your grades are ok, the team is ok, and you can reach the level of 2.2 after normal graduation 1 year and a half. How long it takes to reach the third grade depends on the individual's efforts and level, and this difference will be great. Although the company's level 3 employees have increased a lot, they are senior positions after all.
Finally, Tencent's salary, just looking at the monthly salary, is strictly linked to the professional rank, which is why all the headhunting salary versions or QQ group salary versions circulated abroad are divided by professional channels. Standards such as Tencent 2.3 corresponding to Ali P6 and Baidu T5 are rules, but the external salary data is not necessarily accurate, and the overall HR caliber shall prevail. The figures from the headhunting group will be a little high.

Let's put a picture first, although this picture is about treatment.
Assistant engineer t1.1t1.2t1.3
Engineer: T2. 1 T2.2 T2.3
Senior engineer: T3. 1 T3.2 T3.3
Expert engineer: T4. 1 T4.2 T4.3
Scientist: T5 ...
Chief scientist: T6 ...
Undergraduate graduation begins T 1. 1 graduate graduation begins T 1.2.
If it goes well, it can be upgraded to 0. 1 level every six months, which is a sub-level. It seems that the performance needs to be "in line with expectations" (most people will have this performance).
If the performance before T3. 1 is ok, you can basically get to T2.3 smoothly.
It takes 2~3 years to reach T2.3.
T3. 1 Start the first level, and advance internally to T3. 1 Interview by the channel review committee is required. For the background, T3. 1 The requirement for technology is the ability of architecture, and the most important point is "everything is under control":
(1) lead or deeply participate in a successful medium-sized project, and have the ability to be the technical director in the medium-sized project.
(2) "Everything is under control": understanding and understanding of the industry (in-depth understanding of 2-3 aspects, understanding of other aspects).
Have a deep understanding of the whole running process of background service system (including hardware, OS kernel, runtime library, application itself, etc.). ), and can "control everything" where the system performance is affected.
(3) Have a certain understanding of the high-performance background service architecture of the industry (other companies in the Internet industry, or at least other similar business departments of Tencent). In view of the similarities and differences between the industry structure and its own department structure, we can make a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages and applicable scenarios, actively refer to the industry practices when making technical scheme design/selection decisions in our daily work, and strive to improve the technical structure level of our department.
In the interview, the architecture can be excellent in the field, and when it is questioned and attacked, it can also answer without loopholes, basically passing T3. 1.
It is said that T3. 1 average pass rate is 30%.
That is to say, it can rise to T3. 1 in about 4 years under stable conditions. Generally speaking, it is relatively easy to reach T3. 1 at the age of 30, and most people can reach it. (Need a little core business)
After T3, each level of 0. 1 has to be interviewed by the channel review committee, which has a certain threshold, not every time, and the difficulty may be lower than T3. 1. After T3. 1, it will take 1 year for each liter of 0. 1 to continue to declare a higher level (CD has been restored).
Most people will eventually get stuck at the level of T3.3.
Needless to say, T4 cannot be promoted by ordinary people. At present, there are only 200 Tencent people with 2W+ people, most of whom are directors or above.
In addition, the advantage of Tencent is that if the skills of ordinary employees at the bottom are really good, they will still be upgraded, which has little to do with whether they are leaders or not. The value of a leader leading a team didn't appear until T3.3.
Evaluation twice a year, successful promotion once.
The first level has three levels.
The technical series is denoted by t,
The primary foundation is T 1. 1.
The first average is T 1.2.
The first-class occupation is T 1.3.
T 1.x is an assistant engineer.
T2.x is an engineer.
T3.x is a senior engineer.
It is said that T3 is a watershed.
T4.x is an expert engineer.
T5 T6 will not be discussed, and it is unique.
Others, the product is P, the design is D and so on, just like T.
