Yep, though it was internal to the company I used to work for. The project I was on had probably one of the best teams I will ever be on - everyone (for the most part) followed coding standards and if someone didn't then they were called out on it. It was a pretty mature project, and though the source code we inherited had been thrown together in haste, over time we refactored a good deal of that code.

Whenever we had to write new code, we had to propose to our peers what we intended on doing and how we intended on doing it. Keeping senior members of the team in the loop kept the younger guys (like myself) in check when it came to implementations and design pattern usage.

On top of that, a handful of the people on my team were RELIGIOUS about writing comments first and then coding to the comments. All in all, it was a great experience for me having been fresh out of undergrad.
