I don't know either way about a consensus, but AFAIK there's still a general antipathy to open office plans.
I think those horrible, noisy environments would have led to a backlash sooner rather than later. Now any complaints about open plan offices will just be dismissed as people whining about not being able to WFH.
In an open-plan office, you have to listen to all your coworkers, including those on completely different teams, have extremely loud and simultaneous conversations that you can hear from far across the room.
In a coffee shop, people generally don't talk, or keep their voices low when they do, so you generally only hear people talking to the staff to make orders and such.
Why not? It's not practical to make 8 of your coworkers suffer through your call either.
Maybe, if you need to be on the phone for hours a day, you need an office not to be in an open floorplan.
Doesn't matter though for me because I'm in my home office.
No, I had to hear 3 other people having a conversation louder than his call with me.
Depends on the work you do and your age, I suppose. Also whether you touch type on a standard keyboard or not.
My work is made easier with large dual monitors and a nice standard keyboard. Squinting into a single small screen while mispressing all the laptop keys (because those characters commonly used for programming don't have a consistent spot in any laptop keyboard) is not my idea of fun.
