I think many people regard cube farms as "open space". Especially with the ever shrinking wall sizes and square-footage per person.

  Having seen start-up occupying warehouse-sized spaces with plastic foldable tables set up next to one another filling the whole space, there are values of "open space" greater than your typical cube-divided office space. That office layout, and some technical problems (said shop's first Google result was of a quarter-million passwords compromised by way of a developer's poor password choice, neglecting to use RSAkey auth, and, well, cleartext storage of user passwords), were chief among reasons I declined any further interest in the opportunity. It still ranks high among horror stories I've personally witnessed.

    "That office layout, resulting in some technical problems..." Fixed that for you. ;-)

      I suspect ultimate causality was sloppy thinking resulting in both the office layout and the multiple security issues, though it's also quite likely that this was something of a cascade failure.
