every contractor does what he gets payed for, hat's not something tied to any specific place or culture.
It might make sense to look at the difference in culture between outsourcing shops and places where they do the whole project in house - rather than to do broad generalizations.
I guess any comparison depends on what you are looking for: when comparing software development culture I would ask about the work environment; are workers likely to help each other out or are they more likely to opt for cut-throat competition between peers? Are people encouraged and willing to share knowledge, or is that something unusual?
But I suspect that's not the way that these questions are approached; these are definitely not traits that we are picked out for during job interviews.
