P-order rank hidden inside Ali. What rank is this?

Friends who are familiar with the Internet should know that the management systems of major Internet companies are different from those of ordinary small companies. For example, Ali has his own management system for the convenience of management.

Ali adopts a dual-sequence career development system, namely P (career) and M (management), where P stands for career sequence, and most employees such as programmers and product managers are in this sequence; M is a management sequence, which requires the experience and ability of a management team. From P 1 to P 14, the minimum school recruitment starts from P4, and when the fresh graduates first joined Ali, it was P5. After working for 1-3 years, it will be increased by P6 and 3-5 liters by P7. M route, manager route (M sequence = management post), from M 1 to M 10.

Whether it is P or M, to put it bluntly, it is Ali's hierarchical management. Dean of the School of Management of Fudan University once put forward the view that the so-called rank system is a collection of grades with the same or completely similar work difficulty, responsibility and required qualifications? . To put it bluntly, the coat of rank is only for gathering people with similar abilities, not simply for others to see? Who is in charge? .

A clear hierarchy naturally means hierarchy. Unreasonable or unprofessional requirements at the next level will affect the direction and efficiency of implementation and promotion at the next level. p？ Series employees account for the majority, but follow the principle of pyramid structure. The higher the level, the smaller the number. Therefore, Ali, which has 1.2 million employees, has more than half of its employees squeezed in the middle of this pyramid, namely P7, P8 and P9.

In order to objectively reduce the obvious differences in internal job levels and the pressure of identity, and to resolve the anxiety of ordinary employees, Alibaba cancelled the internal system on August 25. p？ Sequential ranking shows that employees can't see each other's specific ranking in email, nails, intranet and other systems, but only see their own group departments. Zhang Ruimin once said: At present, enterprises in China have not formed their own management ideas and models, and there is no particularly profound and leading management knowledge to show to the world. ? Ali hopes to have a good start.

Hiding hierarchy, equal dialogue and advocating the establishment of free and equal relations are an attempt by Ali to explore a new management model of Internet companies, which may also be a trend of large Internet companies.
