In my current position, I believe it is mostly a functional-based organizational structure with minor aspects of matrix organizational structure. For the most part, there are supervisors (functional managers) of different departments. My direct supervisor has a lot of power when dictating what needs to get done and the timetable it needs to get done in. In this way, individual responsibilities are very clear cut and individual staff is made accountable for their actions/ work progress. We directly report to our supervisor which eliminates confusion, inefficiencies, and wasted time. In addition my projects are mainly done within departments and then combined after each of the individual components is completed. It is important to note, however, there are a special group of ‘floating’ support engineers that drift among the functional groups and assist with general issues and report inconsistencies to upper management. In this way, my organization is unique to most other responses I have read above.
