(Not parent, but also worked there for about 2 years) The no-window thing is real and freaks people out, but each floor is very tall and the interior was open enough that it didn't feel claustrophobic. You're also in a zipcode that is in contention for "best in the world for whatever-you-might-want-to-do". If you ever got claustrophobic, a walk around tribeca usually would cure you of that real quick-like.
Is the art deco inside as beautiful as cracked up to be?
Ps I also worked in a phone exchange building. Cool thing was that there were half floors. 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2 etc. These floors were in fact half height like in the movie Being John Malkovich. Except there were no offices, they were used to route the huge cable trunks between floors and rooms.
These days with single fibers replacing thousands of cable pairs I'm sure they're a lot more roomy than they were back then.

That's how I ended up working there. 33T used to be packed full of gear but everything shrank so much that AT&T found themselves with dozens of empty floors. They didn't renew a lease on a big NJ lab I worked on, and a number of us ended up being able to choose commuting to NYC.
