The place I'm at now is the only job I've had (or place I've contracted with, met with etc.,) that's gotten this right. The whole open floor plan thing, to work well, has to have a reasonably accessible way to escape it when necessary. Open offices can only work, IMO, when there's a breakout room, or in general some sort of closed door room anyone can jump into and get things done or have a 4 person meeting. There's just no escaping the need to have privacy for the point of thinking, or even privacy for the point of talking. Maybe there's a perfect job in a perfect world where everything is open, but in my experience, there's a need to get away from the group once in a while, either alone or with a group.
