I once had a job interview at a small software consultant firm. 30 or 40 employees in 6 offices. They also had a demanding policy, probably not strict 'up or out' like at McKinsey or Deutsche Bank but they do fire people when they don't perform well enough. One of the guys who interviewed me was one of the 2 or 3 highest ranking people there and a technical person.
That was their deal: you start out as Junior Developer and when you are there for 5 or so years, you can decide whether you specialize into technical stuff or people stuff. From phone calls with recruiters I had the impression this is not an unusual model.
