We have a pretty optimal layout, imho. We have several "pods" which are an open 30'x30'x14' room that opens to the main corridor, which get divided into up to 7 cubes via 7' dividers (very modern and colorful, not the vertical carpets of yore). The center usually has whiteboards and chairs for collabs.
So you get interaction with coworkers, but can bury yourself in work readily (also everyone has noise cancelling headphones).
Kinda miss it, it's way nicer than my home office.
There's definitely way less structure now and I am suffering for it.
- clarry 6y agoWe have a pretty optimal layout, imho. Everyone has their own office, some have two to support different kinds of work.. My office is next to my bedroom.
- beager 6y agoThat sounds relatively fantastic. I interviewed with a few larger companies many years ago that had a similar thing. Each "pod" (or scrum team, or what have you) had an office with a door that closed, semi-private cubes within, their own collaboration space, and autonomy over much of their environment. Interestingly, all of these companies ran outmoded spec and dev waterfall processes. And every truly agile place I've worked at or experienced has been everyone in an open room on each other's nerves. Weird correlation!
