Ask HN: Do any companies still provide private office space for employees?
Please state any companies you know of that provide private office spaces for non-exec employees as the norm. Please indicate name, size (startup, established/mid-size or big co.), # of employees if possible, location and industry.
It's something I've wondered about because despite the obvious disadvantages of lack of privacy, noise issues and lowered productivity for some, open seating proliferates. As if cubicle farms weren't bad enough, now more companies have factory floor style seating (open rows of desks with no partitions).
- Finnucane 11y agoI've got one. it's a university publishing office; pretty much as far from a tech startup as you can get. But it's part of the reason I stay here.
- Geekette 11y agoLucky you. Although the open-seating scourge pervades all industries, I suspect non-tech environments have higher availability of private offices for employees.
