My company is over the top with the touchy feely, corporate kool-aid, team-player, brainwashing crap. If any company on the planet would put team event participation into review (even unspoken or subconsciously) it would be this company. It doesnt happen. They are completely separate. And shit, "Relationships" are a company core value. (see? kool-aid...)
At Accenture, I saw more pressure to schmooze it up with the management, and hence at happy hours, etc, but it still really didnt make an impact as to if you were actually at the events or not, just the impressions you made on people.
Dont connect relationship building with happy hours and company picnics. It can happen there, but doesnt have to.
