Thoroughly research the position and go in with clear expectations of what the type of environment offered in this position looks like before the interview. After reflecting on your career, talk about working conditions where you didn't feel like you were growing professionally, an atmosphere that wasn't conducive to your productivity, or poor working conditions that don't resemble the work environment of the position you are competing for. Exemplify that you are pretty flexible in your ability to work in most environments.

Hostile and indecisive. Working with people that are willing to step on their teammates to get ahead or take credit for their work. Management that is always creating new objectives and priorities, but never seeing any of them to completion.
Stephanie's Feedback
You do a great job of illustrating the type of team environment that you dislike. For this type of question, I always suggest adding on a closing sentence that allows for a more positive spin (for example: how do you contribute to a work environment to keep it from taking on these negative characteristics?)
