Professional respect is absolutely the magic ingredient. I just joined a place like this where the mission is effectively "We will grow and sell stuff through service to each other." I was borderline ready to go back to blue-collar work before coming here but I'm home. My takeaway is that it is about the people you're around. Not the language, tools, hot-shot coworker you saw at a conference or anything else.
