Absolutely terrible, they are a cost cutting exercise for companies, studies have shown they seriously hurt productivity.

>Constant changes in air conditioner (I sit right below it), especially with people from different countries
>Loud people blabbering away in other languages, people talking across my desk
>No privacy, cannot have a 1 to 1 conversation with people everyone can hear
>People leaving their chairs pushed out in the middle of the floor, have to push it back near the desk every time I want to get back to my desk
>Shitty music leaking from peoples headphones, ringtones and people having loud conversations on a phone
>People with incredibly bad breath or body odour who sit near you

As you can tell, I really hate open offices.
