My company is the opposite. It is a totem pole. The CEO is at the head, then there is a single person below them, and one person below them, and one person below them, and so on.
This is essentially no hierarchy, and everyone interacts with a few levels below them, and everyone is expected to deliver on product (basically, program).
This works because it is actually really hard to get anything done if you're managing more than 1 person.
