Do banks still have cubicles?

I've noticed that some banks/groups in San Francisco (tech/TMT groups and financial sponsors) have complete open floor plans with everyone sitting shoulder to shoulder, which I think is terrible for working long hours. Wonder if this is the new norm?

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.

Extroverts probably love an open plan, while introverts likely prefer the cubicle walls.
