I've been in your exact situation- very nice, laid back people, but who are boring and have no desire to really improve or change things. It sucks, I feel for you. Remember to respect the balance. What if you were on the opposite team? One that charged ahead, worked like crazy and valued only the smartest? That might be nice for a bit, but eventually it would wear on you in other ways, you'd be tired, stressed and feel undervalued. But even after respecting the perks, you're restless. You want to be on a higher functioning team. I say quit, and quit right now. Because right now you're in a place in your life where you want to work hard, study and grow. So go find those people, they are out there. But leave on good terms, because in 5 years when you want to focus on your family, or take up a hobby, or just chill out, you'll want this type of job, and you'll be glad it's something you can come back to. And then 5 years after that, who knows, you'll get that itch again, and once more your off to the races.
