I believe this can go either way. In a company people build relationships with other people and they work as a team. In my opinion it is better to work with a team of individuals who are more knowledgeable in their department. However in the industry you really do not get to choose who you work with. For example let’s say you work for a large company and you received a project, there are times when you are working/consulting with another team out of this country. There isn’t really a choice who you work with. Everyone is professional and hopefully is willing to work as a team to complete any task that is given to them.
