This is pretty much the situation at my present company.

It depends : if you need more than a /22 it is (very) painful, if you
don't - it's not.
And don't forget that some people are still arguing that the last /8
policy is to be used as a workaround until IPv6 becomes a useful option.
Unfortunately, with the current stocks of available addresses, for a lot
of people it doesn't work this way.
