I think I had one fresh out of college... It was a Windows shop where everyone was expected to spend the day in Visual C++ and never stop typing in code from 9 to 5 (with small breaks allowed for lunch and pointless meetings). Googling things or reading slashdot was more or less culturally forbidden. Collaboration was subtly punished in the sense that if you spent too much time at someone else's cube discussing a problem, the manager would interrupt and assume we weren't working and were just screwing around.
