I'm not sure what you want, but here's where I work.

I leave the elevator for our floor. We share this floor with B2B-Hive, our venture capital company, and at least 2 and possibly 3 of their other up and coming companies. Space is at a premium.

There's a nice looking (emtpy) reception area, where we've occasionally housed sound engineers that were working for us. We're past that stage, so no one is using this area.

Then there's the main room, fairly big, seperated into cubes. That's right, cubicals. There's prolly 5 or 6 of them. The only real effect they have for me is to make it harder for me to move and house people who do stuff I don't know about.

There are offices around the edge of the floor. I used to be in one of them on the south side. It was a small 10x15 room with a built-in desk running around three walls. We fit three people in there. Whenever I tried to move, my chair would slam into my boss's, causing much trouble. Also, due to the design of the built in desk, there were some rather huge dead areas in the corner that held unused disks, books, and dust bunnies.

We moved earlier this month into another room, prolly 15x20, with no built in desk. Only one desk, actually. It sits in the corner and has servers on it. There are 4 of us sitting at two tables in the middle of the room, pushed up against the wall away from the door. It's still fairly tight, because whenever I want to leave my desk I have to get my boss to roll forward a bit so I can fit beghind him. Working 2 feet to the right of your boss is rather painful anyway. And, to make matters worse, there's a large window directly behind me, so anyone walking in the office can stand there and see what I'm doing. Is it a wonder I don't mud much?

The other trouble with the new setup is the noise/heat factor. If we leave the door open, noise from the rest of the office comes in, which is rather annoying and distracting. Otoh, if we close the door, we start to smother from the heat, because the entire floor is on the same environmental controls and we can't turn off the heat. I imagine it'll be similarly unpleasant in the summer.

Add to this that i work longer hours than I'd like, and that i have 2 hours of subway-riding commute everyday, and you can see why I'm frequently ranting and raving. I do like my job. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable.

Hope this helps you!
