1. Bathroom stalls for tech companies. I don't usually see people, and if I do, I wait for them to go away before beginning (company policy). My moonlight job also involves bathroom stalls, but at seedy truckstops, with holes in the walls.
2. I used to work at a large, innovative tech company, but I quit to build my startup, but it failed and lost over $15M dollars of venture capitalist money. It was a much better environment and it smelled a lot better.

1. It's a huge office with desks everywhere. Some desks and chairs are better than others. Some have computers on them. Everybody usually sits where they want. I sit at a large conference table so people who need to talk to me about something can sit down with me while I work.
2. I've only worked retail and fast food.
3. Programmer. Responsibilities include coding and convincing the higher ups that the coding I don't want to do is impossible.

I work in a cubicle in a decent sized room with 10 other ppl. It's my first job as programmer so I don't have anything to compare it to besides waiting tables.
1. I am working in a large open workspace with 70 or so desks arranged in organic patterns (not in rows), it is nicely designed (not gray-and-white) but the noise and human traffic annoy me at times. Everyone has a PC with OS and software of their choice, but bringing own laptops are disallowed. Tablets and smartphones are ok as long as we use the guest wifi access point and not waste too much time. 2. I had a semi-personal office, or personal semi-office, there were two of us in a large room. It was much better because I could play videogames and do freelance jobs all day and my co-worker didn't mind. My employer didn't mind either because it was a government agency. Before that I worked in another semi-personal office, but human traffic was great because it was a control room of a datacenter server hall, and phone calls from clients made me become afraid of telephones for the rest of my life. 3. Software engineer, development of various useful utilities, network services and web interfaces in shitty toy languages (Perl, Python, C and JS at times). 4.

3. that is: reading/writing papers, implementing algorithms in C++ for a graphical front-end, comparative evaluation of similar methods and ultimately socializing with academic staff/colleagues/undergrads.
