If you have cubicles, I don't think that's an open office.

Ah, you're right. I might have misunderstood the meaning of the term open-office. Apologies.

If its just a bunch of people sitting on tables without any sort of division ... I can see why that would be annoying.

What about those half-height cubicles? That's what I've dealt with in almost every enterprise/gov position I've been in over the years in .au

If you can see people while you are sitting, I'd consider that an open office.
