I've had exactly one experience with an open office space. That was enough to turn me off from any company that has it. It was loud and noisy.

When I had a review, my supervisor told me that people didn't find me approachable because I head my headphones on.

When I mentioned I need a quiet space, he told me to "deal with it". When I questioned him on whether he had worked in an open space, he said he had, because he had been a NOC manager.

Different worlds, I soon left. That was the moment I realized I hated traditional corporate culture. Improved to startup, which I loved, until the "CEO" proved he was incompentent and furloughed us...
