I don't know, the more I see of this conversation between flat vs hierarchical management, the more I think the actual structure doesn't matter. If you have highly ego driven people with bad motivations, the company will be a bad place to work no matter the structure. Small, family owned or "lifestyle" businesses tend to be better because the motivations are more modest. People working and running those companies are looking to make a living instead of getting filthy rich. Maybe I'm romanticizing it, but the best jobs I've ever had were at private companies where the focus wasn't on getting obscenely rich.
