I actually feel kind of bad for the Facebook team. Sure, they had to grow, but leaving downtown Palo Alto must be disappointing for a lot of the folks there.

Joel would not be amused:

I'm with him on this one. I'd hate to work in a place like that. Dear Lord.

I was going to say the same thing. Open floor plans are too distracting for me.

Agreed. I worked as a programmer in a small webshop with ~7 programmers and it was WAY to distracting for me. Even with headphones on there was to much people moving around and conversations that carry for my liking.

There was an article on here not too long ago about how moving to new offices tends to kill startups. The theory being that if you've got time to worry about planing the perfect office, you're no longer concentrating on building the perfect app. Or something like that.

Facebook had like 5-7 offices in downtown Palo Alto. Now they have one.

Beyond that, they're not really a startup anymore: they have over 1,000 employees.

I love that crane-table, an awesome way to re-use existing elements of the building.
