Literally the cubicles from Office Space?

Omg I would definitely take those cubicles over an open office.

Yes - I’d love that compared to the open plan layout with constant distraction and interruption.

My preference is actual office (which I currently have and share with one coworker), cubical (the higher the walls, the better), open space (no, just no).

Different people have different preferences.

I worked in the high cubicles like that once and they were not that bad. A full wrap around desk allowed me to have a PC, Sparc Station, and some test servers in my space. It was fairly quiet, but someone could get your attention by calling your name.

Yes, I have worked in both and I would prefer the cubicles from office space to open plan.

Those cubicles are actually pretty nice.
