IBM is set up the same way, to a degree. They have "IBM fellows" who are essentially executive-level engineers. I don't think it extends all the way down though

- devy 10y agoYeah, IBM might have been one of the earliest tech giants to setup dual track organizational structure although I don't know for sure.
- kawera 10y ago3M is another company with similar dual track system for engineers/scientists.
- astrange 10y agoAll large tech companies (Apple, MS, LinkedIn, Oracle, Google at least) have the same official ranks for engineers that go Senior, Staff, Distinguished, Fellow. But that doesn't mean anyone ever gets promoted up there. I think there's at most three Fellows in any of those companies at a time.
