Rather than calling it quits or surmising that you're not a good fit for the company culture, it is always a good idea to be sure you aren't inadvertently contributing to the fate of your experiences.

Doing extra shows your ability to think ahead and is a good sign that you are dedicated to seeing the team succeed. Volunteer yourself for assignments no one else wants to take. Do the grunt work. Be your boss' go-to person.
