Does the C-Suite Employees typically occupy the very top floor of the whole building owned by the company?

Lets say a global firm owns an entire 50-story building in the city. Is it typical that the very top floor, Floor #50 to be assessable by only the company's top executives like the CEO/President/C-Suite employees?

And then as the floors go down, like the company's hierarchy, the mid-level employees occupy the middle floors and the newer employees work at the lower floors?

In my experience, it’s sort of like that. The highest floors are for c-suite executives and maybe a giant hall for events/clients. But below them it’s not exactly always hierarchical. I worked on a middle floor with a number of just outside of the c-suite people. These people might have had desks at higher floors but they spent most of their time on the lower one.
