Yeah, being surrounded by lazy people grates on me... but then again I don't think I'd feel very at home in a super-fast-paced go-get'em atmosphere like the big tech companies either. I'm just not that ambitious about money, honestly, and would rather work on my own independent side projects that I think are cool rather than serving a corporate overlord who can fire me at any time.
It's hard to find a place where you get a good balance of people.

There are middle ground places. You described the extremes. The vast majority of IT jobs are not like working in Silicon Valley.

I have never worked at the stereotypical tech company. Worked at an agency for years and it was fast paced but it wasn't cutthroat compared to plenty of other companies. I now work in a large tech company but it isn't like companies like Google either.
