Yes, we have a mother's room on my floor with comfy chairs, a TV and cubbies for storing pumps or other belongings as well as a small refrigerator. It is nice but we have a lot of working moms here so the company is pretty accommodating. HR even gives you a reserved parking spot during your pregnancy so you don't have to walk far.

No, I pumped in my office and pretended that nobody could hear. I like that I can keep working if necessary. I also bought a mini fridge for my office. I feel like parading my pump through the office would be more obtrusive than the sound. I felt very self conscious the first week before I bought the fridge when I used a communal fridge. When someone without an office is pregnant, they provide an empty office.

yes. it's a large room (looks like a former office suite maybe) with about 6 curtained off sections, each of which has a chair and a pump. there's also a sink, microwave and refrigerator. even though i have my own office, i am grateful for the lactation room so that i won't be disturbed and can deal with all my pumping gear in one private place.

I work at a hospital so we have a pumping room on my floor and has a awesome hospital grade pump so we are pretty lucky.
-
Each of our facilities has a designated spot to pump. Nothing too fancy but usually a chair, a table, and a pump sit in there. There's a ton of women where I work though and one room isn't really enough for everyone so I prefer pumping in my office. They're moving me offices soon though so I probably won't have that accommodation any more.

No... I work for a small company with only 3 girls... 2 of which are pumping now. The other girl I work with uses her office and has to put a sign up at the bottom of the stairs (she has her own space upstairs, but it is all open). I am left with the upstairs conference room with a giant cardboard box covering the glass door!
AND the women's restroom doesn't work 1/4 of the year (freezes in winter) so I have nowhere to wash parts. I make due, but no fun. (the kitchen is in the shop with the guys... no thanks). -
@SeptMomma12: I actually pump in my office, almost always while on conference calls! No one can hear (I checked by calling my best friend) as long as I'm not on speaker phone. That said, I have a rented Medela Symphony from the hospital (it is covered by my insurance and is AMAZING and super quiet). I have a Medela PISA at home that is definitely louder than my Symphony at work... But still quiet enough that no one could hear it outside my office, but not quiet enough that I'd feel comfortable pumping while on a conference call.

I'll be in my office whenever I'm back from my June baby! I'm going to have to add a lock to my door and I'll most likely be bringing in a mini fridge. We are a small office so everyone will know what's going on but I can already anticipate my boss yelling instructions and questions through the door!

@SeptMomma12: nope, our offices are pretty insulated and the ladies know the deal anyways. I have a do not disturb sign for my door (with a cow on it!)

No.... since we have year long maternity leaves I don't know anyone who pumps when they go back to work. I don't even think it would be physically possible with my job and schedule.
