This can also be company or department specific. I remember when we moved, I encouraged and actually pushed that we arrange everything in a full privacy mode, regardless of where you stay and how many people are in the office, no one can see your screen or desk without coming up behind you. It's funny how other departments in our same company have a clear hierarchy, where the boss has full privacy and everyone under him needs to have their screens placed that they are visible at all time/when entering the office. The funniest, or maybe saddest was another dev team that forced everyone to face the walls around each office, so the screens are always public.
