Are developer farms really enjoyable?

EBay just bought 35,000 square feet of space in NYC to house developers to build out its new recommendation system.  While this makes them the second largest development space in NYC next to Google, it begs the question.  Do developers want to work in a massive hive?  What does that do to productivity and innovation?  I’m sure, if it is anything like Google’s there will be plenty of perks, so perhaps you wouldn’t mind?
