It's all individual
When I worked in electronics engineering, I turned down an offer from a major company, because the only way they operated was on an "open office" array, and I cannot work that way. I wanted a private office, as the presence of other people tends to distract me, but they said they couldn't offer it. I said, "Well, I'm sorry, but I can't work for you," and the meeting was, I thought, over. As I was walking back to my car, the man who had interviewed me ran after me and asked if I could reconsider. "Private office?" I asked. "No can do," he replied. "Well, then there's no deal," I said, and I left. A few weeks later, I was working for a company that did provide a private office. My point, here, is that everybody works differently, and the company, that cannot understand that, loses.
I retired from electronics engineering at the end of 1994.
