In your opinion, what is the most important quality in a good team? This may be controversial but I am going with compatability. There is nothing worse than a team divided and man if I’m not in the thick of it right now.…..

I don’t know if compatibility is the right word. I think it’s ownership of being part of a team, realizing that other people rely on you doing your part for everyone to succeed. I have worked with people who are okay leaving promptly at the end of every day without finishing their work. They lack commitment and are undependable. You can’t trust them to meet any deadline; team players always have to pick up their slack and it’s demoralizing to have this personality on a team. The worst is when they think that their opinions and ideas should have their same weight as others on the team. They want agency but don’t know how to earn it.

Being compatible is close to what I see as most important, which is a collection of complementary talents. Having a group of people, all good at what they do, pulling in the same direction, that's a real team. It's like in baseball, you can't field a team of all shortstops, you need to have a variety of skills represented.

Yep I have to go with that as well. I have worked on too many teams where the people and personalities were not at all compatible and nobody functioned as a team and it drove me nuts. Thankfull now I am on a team where everyone is very compatible and we all get along really well together and really work as a team.

See I’m torn about this one. I am all about a proper work/life balance, so I'm okay with the part about leaving promptly when the work day ends, but yeah if you don't put in the proper amount of work as others then your opinion shouldn't have as much weight when it comes to projects and decisions etc.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I applied for a job at a well-known healthcare company a couple of months ago. I had a number of remote interviews and then they asked me to fly out for a final round of in-person interviews. Later that week they told me that they were going to be making an offer. Another week has gone by and still no offer. They said they are still working on it. Is this the new norm for recruiting? I have other offers and can't keep waiting for these foot draggers.
