Are you pretty flexible in your ability to work in most environments? Have you experienced a position where the atmosphere wasn't conducive to your productivity? Be sure to know the type of environment offered in this position before the interview.

"I can be productive in most work environments, so long as the mentality is positive and teamwork is encouraged. I cannot work in an environment that feels negative or toxic."

Rather than focusing on the negative, try spinning your answer into a positive focus: "I do best in a supportive environment where there is room to grow, the ability to ask questions, and healthy co-worker relationships."

I just love to work as part of a team, and I hate it when people don't want to participate in a team environment.
Rachelle's Feedback
Teamwork is essential, indeed! I highly recommend avoiding the word 'hate' in a job interview. Yuck - this word can create a mood, can't it? Try spinning your answer into a positive framework. I have provided an example for you below.
"I have been lucky enough to work in environments where everyone gets along quite well, and hiccups are opportunities to learn, rather than scold. I hope to join an environment like this again. Does this describe your work environment?"
