As with outside the workplace, I think it depends on the people involved. I've worked with a number of people who don't get sarcasm, or choose not to in the workplace. I've seen sarcasm have a non-positive impact with those people. However, interactions with my boss at my last employer ranged from sarcastic to very dry (he probably has the most dry sense of humor of anyone I've ever met). So that wildly swinging range of humor led to a fun workplace where we were very productive. It's definitely not for everyone.
