When I worked in military contracting for a decade, I found the same work environs: at three different DoD employers I shared an office (with window) with only one other person. Now that I work at a big pharmaceutical (where profit margins are famously big), we recently transitioned to an open space. It's ugly, tight, offers no storage space, has a low ceiling, little daylight, and you can't sit in the same space from day to day. The space is even broken up across three floors so you're guaranteed not to be able to find your friends. Management seems hell bent on driving out talent. Pretty much all our best and brightest have left. Their replacements have all been 22 year-olds, who've never worked anywhere else and don't know that it doesn't have to be like this.
