Nothing. I hate it. If I may, a case study of how to make a shitty office: * Find space based mainly on price. Who cares if it's nearly a different city from where your whole team lives? * Don't worry about natural light (or even worse, due to whatever circumstances ensure that only some people get natural light) * Take whatever furniture is lying around. * Everyone gets the cheapest refurbed machine you can find. If it was good enough for some office worker in 2002, it's good enough for your dev team now! * Don't get anymore space than you need. When a new hire arrives, they can set up their 'office' in the storage/server room. * Some cheap-o phones and Skype over a residential-grade DSL line is all you need. It doesn't look bad at all if you start every conversation with "H-hello? Can you hear me? I'm using Skype and-- oh there you are" EDIT: formatting
