This is where I find this 'you must have passion for your job & company' to be problematic. You get this worker cult environments where how dare someone use a competitor typer scenarios. Or managers surrounding themselves with yes men. A bit of neutrality in job attitude is good. You still take pride in doing a good job but the pride should be in your actions, not the company/product.
