I do not understand how people can get work done in an environment like this. I've had similar experiences and "the whole day is a meeting" only served me for unnecessary interruptions, useless workplace banter and unsatisfactory results.

I do think some work circumstances can benefit from periods of nearness.

Programming is not one of them. ;)

People who tilt towards extrovert thrive in an environment like this.
