I did not really mind when I worked at a ~10 people company, it kind of made sense. Working on a floor with over a hundred people in an open office was miserable. There was always someone on Zoom or people having live meeting in earshot.

Blow my mind that all those office managers and floor planners and supposedly expert at organizing a work environment think that it make sense to cram in hundred of people working on wildly different stuff together at earshot distance. How hard would it be to create big divisions so that you only get to hear the 10 or so people which you're directly involved with. Anyway, there was clearly an "everyone must be an extrovert" culture thing going on. The higher ups sure seemed to enjoy hearing and seeing everyone everywhere all the time.
