I find that at my job, we are a mixture of functional and project-based organization. We have different departments ranging from microbiology, HCM, different engineers, manufacturing, and marketing. All the teams work with each other within the department but some people in different departments will also work together for certain projects. There are definitely silos that are formed but a lot of the decisions made are together as a team. I believe it is definitely easy to coordinate within the department as well. With a big company and so many people working within each department, this organization mixture works well. There’s room to expand and work on different projects but also having the same responsibilities required for a functional organization. Project-based organizations also give you room to network and know other people.
