The problem is that there is less communication because people afraid to disturb their neighbours. Of the 3 variations I have tries (single office, 2-3 people in a room, 8+ in the same room) I have found 2-3 people in a room is the best. You have someone to bounce ideas on and since everyone in the room tend to work on the same thing it is usually of interest to everyone.
