I think it varies alot. I worked in two firms. The first one was in a downtown storefront. Two small firms shared the space, each had the principal and one or two helpers. We had a conference table out front and drafting tables in the back. We could all talk to each other. The next firm I worked for had about fifteen employees. The principals had their own offices, but the rest of us were in one large room (or after we moved in several large rooms). We could easily talk to each other or walk around and look at each other’s work. We all ate lunch together and usually had a coffee break together. Other firms I’ve walked through seem quite similar.
