Currently, I work for Scimedx, a small diagnostic medical device company. Since the company is small (only about 30 people) its a little harder to describe how we operate but I think it is closely related to a matrix organization. If there is a large product, the people in the microbiology department (my department) will help out whatever other department needs help, and vice versa. So they will pull personnel from departments in order to help others, and it’s not always the same people working together, it is whoever is suited best for the project, so in this respect, it is similar to a matrix organization. However, because of the size of the company, there aren’t project managers and functional leaders to report too. This means that if there isn’t a larger process, we just report to our boss so it will be more of a functional situation.
