Sounds like a nightmare for the new guy that gets hired, and there is no place for them to sit in the team room. Yes, I was that new guy, when a team I was hired into expanded. The office had high cubical walls separating different areas, and within those areas were pits that held 4 - 8 people depending on the particular layout. I was person number 9 on the Unix team, but was put in another pit a little way off that held contracted Informix 4GL programmers. (this was about 20 years ago) The team I was on however was really good, they made sure to grab me for coffee several times a day so we could have a bantering session down in the cafeteria.
