People who have worked in a closed plan office, which do you prefer?
I currently have only ever worked in an open plan office and quite honestly I hate it and prefer the idea of the classic cubicle where I can escape into my own world while I work.

I agree, while I'm not looking for ten thousand identical cubicles and fluorescent lighting, I think a hybrid approach to a mid-level partition can be the best. I got my own office for the first time in my life about a week ago, and while it's beyond nice to have my own personal space, I can kind of feel detached from the chatter out there - it's much harder to shoot the shit w/ coworkers.
When I was an analyst at my last job, the office was a little... too... open. I'm talking like, zero partitions, elbow-to-elbow with people next to me and in front of me. That was when the whole 'coworking' thing got really big and hip and my office decided that they were going to push for it without any consolidation. I'm all for being in an open environment, but sometimes I just need five minutes of privacy so I can call someone and have them hear ME, not my coworkers yelling across the room about the Nats losing again. I think a solid mix of the two goes very well.
