I work way better in an open office, but I fully acknowledge that I am not likely your average worker. The problem with open offices is that you only get one option: be around everybody. My company has something like 15-20 offices anyone can use at any point with a big open floor in the middle for collaboration. That is in combination with a flexible WFH and office culture. Best of both worlds IMO.
