I toured the Facebook offices in Menlo Park. It's all open plan, even Mark's desk. It's a big deal over there as they are converting the whole building to be open plan. If you want some privacy/uninterruption you can go to a few places around for it.

I just interviewed with Microsoft in Bellevue and the offices were all open-plan. I thought Microsoft was famous for every programming getting their own private office. They told me their building was the prototype and all other MS offices were converting to open plan in the near future. They could have a revolt on their hands if that's true.

Revolt == old people leave.

If you are programmer, why would you want to work for Facebook, let alone in a open environment?
