I've had it bad at both ends. The 'we have no heirachy - the owner doesn't have an a office' open cubical farm where you are stuck between chatty secretaries and shouting salesmen. And the private offices where one office = one person = one module and the only way to talk to somebody about 'their' part was a request up the management chain. Best was a 'programmers only' room with one huge desk for three programmers on the same project.
