I've met such people, and they were very hard to work with. Fortunately, I don't work there anymore and my current team is comprised of very good people (both technically and socially). This is due to the fact that the team leader simply doesn't hire people with toxic attitudes, no matter their skill level. And personally, I would simply refuse to work with someone toxic either by filing a complaint with the team leader, requesting a transfer or leaving the company. I see no problem with filing a complaint because the most likely results are fine by me: * Either he has a talk with the manager and hopefully tones down * or he accumulates enough complaints that he's removed from the team * or the management doesn't respond well to complaints, which signals it's not a team / company I would want to work with.
