There is definitely a learning curve with it. I think it all depends on what kind of control you want for each department. Will they each have their own domain name or are you just trying to control who has access to edit content? Will the theme be radically different between each department?</div><div><br></div><div>We were able to achieve quite a bit with Workbench, Context and Menu Block on hsl.osu.edu. Workbench let us control which role or user can edit content in sections. It also let's us control the publishing workflow. Context let us control the look of each section and what menus and blocks appeared in it. Menu Block let us control which level of the menu is displayed in each section.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have a lot of experience with it, but Organic Groups <a href="https://drupal.org/project/og">https://drupal.org/project/og</a> might be another option.
