Personally, it sounds exactly like the software teams I've been working on. Completely flat hierarchy, decisions reached by "consensus" (long, drawn-out discussions where the last man standing gets his way), introducing new technologies and ideas based on personal preferences and agendas etc. Since Agile became the norm, there are no managers in software enginering teams - the team is supposed to manage itself. In practice, it's exhausting.
