I have experienced all the same situations as you and I strongly disagree with the 3-5 person team room idea. I'm currently in a 3 person room right now and it's the worst of all I've had! You're constantly distracted by the other 2 guys and communication between the rest of the team is made difficult. Plus you can rarely shut the door, turn lights on/off, set the air conditioning how you like without upsetting one of the others in your office. I'd take an open plan office with sales people and managers screaming on the phone any day over my current situation! Of course, the best choice would be my own office... we can all dream I guess.
