Yikes...tend to agree. Can't imagine how I'd get anything done in such a cramped, open environment like that. Way too many distractions. Also couldn't help but notice the "Work Hard" poster in the background. Hopefully the subtext that is too small to make out is something that makes it sound less severe than it seems on the surface.

Underneath it says "& be nice to people".

  Does the text size imply the priority?

    uhh, don't know what beach you guys are working from, but I appreciate a strong 'Work hard' vibe, myself. You want a chilled out work-to-life ratio, there's a number of places out there for you. Hell, some of them are startups. But part of the appeal of working at a startup is that you gotta get shit done. Work hard and be nice to people. Not a bad thing to see on your wall.

Dudes, I don't think this Google Search here. Say you're one of the 75 people they hired this quarter. Do you know what fields are mandatory on the 179c form in Maryland? No. Does one of those people around the table know it? Hopefully yes. This is a multi-thousand person company to do something that has zero CS challenge to it. You need people constantly communicating changing business requirements and teaching each other evolving internal tools. If you have to get up and [guiltily] knock on someone's door to find this stuff out, the real work is going to suffer.

  If domain knowledge is primarily accessed by vocal broadcast to everyone in the room, your business is in trouble.
