I've worked in 9 roles across 3 companies.

Never got my own cubicle

They stuck me alone in the server room. 10/10

Been great except that time the AC went out. No one bothers you unless they need something fixed.

No AC in the server room sounds like a recipe for cooked servers hot and fresh.

Only one rack and it was a few weeks ago. I'm sure something would have died if it was middle of summer, though.

Being in a room with 15,000 fans spinning at 10,000 rpm is like being trapped inside a vacuum cleaner. Mandatory hearing protection. Alternating rows of 70 degrees and 100+ degrees.

It's not always so fun, but being better than a cubicle is a low bar.
