Europeans or literally anyone else are nicer workplace people.
American Corp culture is toxic af. Money thirst, shameless self promotion, competition etc really make you anxious all the time.

What they are not, however, is so deeply motivated by fear that if they lose their job, they’ll lose their house/health insurance/families, be labeled a worthless outcast by society etc. That seems to be the primary difference in determining how toxic people’s behavior is in the workplace.
Europeans are rude in comparison.
But those are general culture traits. Corporate working culture traits in America are the worst. Even the northeast Asian usual 'this seems dumb, but my manager/chief want it, so I will execute rather than asking for explanations' isn't as insupportable as American office politics (well, in my case it was a partnership Corp+research institute I worked with, so I guess it might have skewed my judgment)
Good people, optimize for the only thing that matters, smart.
