Internally Valve forms temporary hierarchies to shepherd projects along and there are also anecdotal accounts from ex-Valve employees that things aren't as "egalitarian" inside as they claim and that some people with seniority have more authority than is claimed.
That being said, I've had a hard time verifying any of this stuff and it's rather a given that a company would be reluctant to air their dirty laundry.
