I work at Ericsson today. Unfortunately, the environment is very much like the one described by the OP: open plan office, noise, chit-chat, interruptions, daily stand-ups (which are mostly a waste of time), scrum meetings which take place far too often, retrospectives which turn into blamestorm sessions. All of this makes the office a rather unpleasant place to be. Which is a shame, because whenever I get to actually sit down and get some work done, I tend to enjoy it.

You'd think I could cope with this by working from home, but that option is limited, too.
