Currently, I work for a medical device company within the north jersey area. From my experience so far with the company, I would argue that is a functional organization. With such a large company it is difficult not to separate out departments as opposed to have specified groups with multiple experts from different departments. There are projects that I work on that require buy from multiple departments which I enjoy very much. Certain projects call for regulatory, R&D, quality, manufacturing etc. to all work together to achieve a common goal. Although on the face of it all, the company is mainly a functional organization, many of the projects that I see myself working on have a lot more collaboration with specialized groups of experts and less and less silos.
