In good teams I've been able to bounce ideas off my teammates without pressure. They'd come back with things I hadn't thought of, I'd iterate and they'd respond, etc. After this I left the discussion with a better understanding of the problem, still ultimately in the driver's seat for solving the problem. Getting feedback in these situations is empowering.
In bad teams I end up defending myself from people who want to leave their mark on what I'm doing, or just have different taste than me. Getting feedback in these situations is frustrating and demoralizing.
