That&#x27;s a personal opinion and I fully respect it. But I would like to share mine too, which is pretty opposite to yours. I worked for 3 companies as a dev in about 6 years of experience, I always left because I wanted to move to something &quot;more&quot;, not because I didn&#x27;t care or didn&#x27;t feel included. In all 3 I had a seemingly open space and I really like it if I have space to breath.<p>I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s about not caring or mattering, actually, the open space environment originated to fight that feeling of being nobody, alone in your cubicle. What open space is trying to achieve is showing that everyone is, at least theoretically, on the same level.<p>Ultimately, I like it, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s perfect and it will probably change. The thing to remember is that this whole big companies are a relatively new thing and nobody has the perfect formula yet, people&#x2F;companies are experimenting and doing an effort to improve working conditions. I think that matters and I look forward to the future. We are iterating and as long as we don&#x27;t start to regress I can do nothing but be happy.
