Shared office is even worse, everyone is loud, you’re missing the attenuation you had in your cubicle. Impossible to do phone calls / video calls without noise canceling headphones and good noise filtering. Ans when you’re at home trying to talk to someone on-site, you can hear three other colleagues chatting in the background. Hate this shit with a passion
Where I’m at now we have those phone booth-style boxes for (video-)calls. They are pretty horrible but a big improvement over having people making calls in the shared space.

It depends on the type of work and the people involved.
I worked in a team of developers and everyone who visited us commented how quiet it was…
