Thats strange because i see a lot of job adds requiring creativity and passion. Unfortunately big companies understand creativity as "you should be smart enough to understand your boss's vision" and passion as "You should just do your job and not whine about it".
They also seem to define teamwork as "doing what your boss tells you without pointing out ways to do it better" and leadership as "passing on your boss's vision to the poor souls working for you, while not passing back any complaints/problems to your boss".
Rightly so, I think. Debugging somebody's "poetry" can really suck. I'm not so sure this is necessarily a Lisp thing, though.
(And, I'd rather see somebody get creative in code by finding unexpectedly elegant and simple solutions, rather than by adding lots of flourishes.)
