I'd like to understand why as knowledge workers a portrayed environment where you have minimal space between you and an open environment it a good working environment? The photo used by the AirBnB add portrays an extreme of the popular open office concept.
In the last two years I've worked in "open office as portrayed", a more isolated open office, as well as at home. I know my preference.
I still ask why is this a motivator on the cover of the digital equivalent of a glossy magazine?
This has nothing to do with the company (I use airbnb regularly), but the portrayal of environments.
A justification, I get emails regularly, I have no commute. The recruiters that reach out to me I simply ask, "so, I have no commute, can you encourage me to further engage with that first hurdle." So far, none can. Simple question, I've got a great job, sell me on what you have. Reality is most established companies at this point just want bodies to fill positions.
Disclaimer - I've passed on two founding CTO positions (over the last 2-3 years) because my risk averseness wasn't in sync at the time asked.
I see this post as a recruiting glossy and asked my questions as such.
