Should a U-shaped desk face the door?

Facing the door is the most common preference in private offices — it allows you to see and greet visitors without being startled, project authority in your space, and maintain situational awareness. However, if natural light comes from behind the door and creates glare on your monitor, an angled position may be better. The U-shape gives you flexibility since you can orient the primary surface to the door while using returns for other tasks.
