I've worked in a high walled cube, a low walled cube, and an open office. The open office looked nicer and more modern, but the high walled cube was the most comfortable of the 3.
You could work in the high walled cube without feeling like someone was watching over your shoulder, and people were a little more respectful about interrupting you when they came by. Low walled cubes encouraged more conversation over the cube walls, but open office somehow encouraged it less than the cubes because everyone had headphones and earplugs in.
- thrav 8y agoThis has been my experience. Low walled cubes allow me to drop my chair and block everything else out of my line of sight, then stand up and have the ability to see everyone around me. It also hides everybody’s cords, which are always beyond messy and hideous in most open office settings. I think small cube wall (that acts as a backdrop for a stationary monitor or 2) is optimal.
