Many Google offices were really overcrowded before COVID. For example, Kirkland office literally had desks in stairwells (I have no idea how they passed fire safety). This was the new low, but desks in the hallways are typical everywhere.

I work in the kirkland office. It's definitely VERY (over)crowded there, although I never have seen a desk in a hallway.
