You won't learn anything from working in a dysfunctional organization that will come in handy in high-functioning organizations, except how to empathize with dysfunctional people. That one person who just won't share information, thinks every question is a trap, and won't do anything for someone outside their team without management signing in triplicate? You'll have a better shot at knowing what's in their head and maybe what to say to reassure them.
