I work in a matrix organization as a Manufacturing Engineer. I love this organizational style because information travels relatively quickly. Just last week I needed help from Regulatory concerning a project. Many members in Regulatory were out due to the holidays. Because of the matrix-styled structure, I could contact anyone in the Regulatory Department and did not have to wait.
Also, with a matrix organization, I feel like projects are completed as a team and are not pushed on any individual. Many people contribute to the completion of the project resulting in quality work for half the amount of time.
