Sounds like a good place to work.

Its ironic but i work somewhere in which we used to operate this way, as a team. It has changed and caused many problems because everyone has been taught that we operate as a team. I am in the midst of trying to figure out what to do so that everyone is happy and productive.

This is what I call a democratic workplace.

I'd love to work at Valve but it's one of those places that require you to have 'skills'. I don't have many skills :(

Hell I bet the janitors have a say in what's under development over there too. Just imagine a reality show based inside Valve :O.
