(nods) Oh definitely true. I spent a summer with one of the BEST team's I have ever worked with (this I measured by their experience, the roughly equal ratio of seriousness to laidbackness and quiet time to social time, and the welcoming nature of the people there). And we worked in a small, windowless office with cement walls. Yuk.

But in that situation, team definitely won out. Sure, the environment itself sucked, but you hardly noticed because of the group atmosphere.
