Dear seniors,
I am associated with a small IT Organisation with around 35 employees. Out of them the CEO, one Delivery Manager, 2 project Managers, HR Manager, Account Executive, 2 Group Leads (1 Development & 1 QA), 3 QA team members and the rest Software Engineers and Sr. Software Engineers. Till now everything was going on fine but with time we can make out that this simple structure is not working for us anymore. Because we are not being able to promote people with time as there are lack of positions. For eg. a person is technically very sound and having experience of around 4- 5 yrs.. but we are not being able to promote him to a group lead as we have already one person there and the person concerned is working well single handed but has not been assigned any team to work under him. So, to show a proper growth path to all the employees we have decided to restructure our designations.
Till now what we had :
2- 4 yrs - Software Engineers/ QA Engineers
4 yrs and above - Senior Software Engineers/ Sr. QA Engineers
5 yrs+ exp and minimum 3 yrs with our company and handling a team independently - Group Lead (Development/QA)
7+ yrs exp and handling multiple projects - Project Manager
Can you people enlighten me on the designation structure of any standard Company?
Thanks in Advance
