Not everyone sees their company as their group. Companies like to talk about how they treat their employees like family, but it's just a way to manipulate them into doing extra work. Once you see it for what it is, it's easy to start thinking of jobs as something you just do for a paycheck, not something you do because you care about what happens to the company.

But even if you don't care about the company as an entity, isn't it nicer to work for a company whose mission you care about and with peers why care about the same?

I would agree with it written like you just did but not like written before.

What I mean is that I really don't think of my co workers as family at all and any company actively trying to promote that is going to find me very annoyed with that. It's not my family. Don't force me into parties and such.

What I am looking for though is peers that care about doing a good job. I'm tired of working with people that don't know how to do their job. That don't care about clean code. That follow the letter of agile practices but not the spirit.

I couldn't care less about the mission. Every company I've been at so far has had a completely different domain and many of them I couldn't have cared less about.
