What are the differences? From a personal perspective?

What do you gain when you work with a team?

You gain support when you are unsure about what you should be doing or if you are not confident about your ideas. If you are in a good, efficient team, then the workload is much lower and the task is easier to complete. You also gain motivation as you do not want to let your team down so you are less likely to leave things to the last minute.

What do you gain when you work alone?

When you work alone, you can work at your own pace and time manage your tasks the way that suit you best. You can utilize all of your ideas without having to consult anyone and you do not have to utilize anyone elses bad ideas if you don’t like them.  I feel more ownership of my work when I am working alone and am more likely to produce work of a higher standard, also I feel my work is not compromised my other people half hearted contributions. Sometimes group work can turn out to be a HUGE amount of work if other people don’t contribute as much as they should and you have to do their work for them, in this care working alone results in a much smaller workload.
