- david-gpu 8y agoI used to work in a matrix organization. My two VPs had completely different goals and strategies. Unsurprisingly, they did not cooperate, meaning I was being pulled in two entirely different directions. I quit.

- flyinglizard 8y agoThat's an awful kind of organization because it deprives power from the product people while turning the technical people into internal contractors. While doing that, it puts individual under a dual headed management (technical and HR, or "solid" vs "dotted"). It's usually a compromise for organizations who don't really want to do housekeeping, sort of managing without hard decisions. It's not a good thing to be in.
