I suspect a lot of CS departments don't encourage/teach teamwork. I majored in CS at Georgetown and never wrote code with a partner. Then I spent two years at Stanford doing a MSCS and did group work in very nearly every class...which was extremely valuable.

So, my advice: Learn to write code in a team.

At my Uni (Australian) it seems I never get to work alone, more than half (maybe 4/5ths?) of all my work has been completed in groups. I have definitely been developing my teamwork muscles for the last two years. Although looking over past material it seem like this has all been a recent development for my department.
