Let's take a trade that requires intense focus and concentration and then take 30 engineers and stick them in a room together. Also let's remove all the soundproofing to "facilitate communication." Wait, what do you mean our project is running behind schedule??? I'm working in an environment like that and I enjoy it a lot. However it is only 4 people, not 30. I can see 30 being a problem. But for us it is super useful to just look over at the other person and chat for a minute at any time, don't have to leave the room. I would hate to have to walk to my coworkers office for little things. But here we can easily keep in sync and ask each other little confirmation questions without breaking our stride on what we are doing. It is important to be understanding if the other guy asks to wait a few minutes before giving an answer. It is also a nice way to keep tabs on what everyone is working on so you know if you can jump in and help someone or ask them to help you with something. Otherwise, we work in a office at the far end of a building so it is usually quiet except for sounds of keyboards typing. That really helps us as half the team says they get distracted by listening to music so the other half (the cool half) listen to music on earbuds.
