I know at least two of those four companies have very liberal working policies.

If I want to work on a problem with a team member we can take over a meeting room for a few days.

If I want to work from home for a couple of days that's ok as well.

Sometimes I'll go work from a cafe.

Hell, sometimes I'll have an intense meeting then play a couple of hours of table tennis to relax.

Basically if I want quiet time I can easily get it. It's not really like that for most software development jobs at normal companies.
