Please comment on your company's office space, location and facilities. And while we're at it, please tell us a little about the dress code.
Desk layouts are often in very old style pod systems with tall dividers which inhibit collaboration. Offices are dusty/stuffy. Facilities such as kitchen appliances are break and are not addressed for long periods of time. Poor toilet paper quality. Cleaners do not do large majority of cleaning, many things are left untouched and considered 'our responsibility'. Support for sit stand desk is generally good, but again varies wildly between areas.

No coffee machines, small, dark, not enough natural light, pod walls are too low (can see over them), drab colours, lack of lunch spaces.

I find the office spaces suitable. The facilities and location are very nice and central to Canberra. At times, the IT set up can be a hassle, but overall very good. Dress code is smart casual.

Locations are good (although it would be better if the department was together in one space), and the facilities and office spaces are okay, but they both limit the possibility of greater integration and less working silos. The dress code is flexible and led by team cultures, rather than departmental ones.

Happy with the o_ce location and facilities, the building is centrally located, and the facilities are su_cient- bathrooms are cleaned very regularly and there is su_cient space/equipment in the kitchens. Support is available to ensure workstations are ergonomic, including assessments to ensure your equipment is right and supportive for you specifically and sit/stand desks are readily available. A dress code is not strictly enforced but is generally business casual.

Some offices lack functioning motorised stand desks Flexible/lack of dress code is great and reduces sense of snobbery.
