It’s always good to see companies recognize and reward their employees when they have success. Apart from doubling up vacation days, there are probably not too many more popular rewards than a free iPad these days.

And that’s exactly what all the employees at LinkedIn got this week. As TechCrunch reported, iPads were given out to all 3,500 of LinkedIn’s employees because of the great success the company had in 2012. A spokesman told TechCrunch:

We wanted to acknowledge the hard work and accomplishments of all of our employees in 2012. During today’s bi-weekly All Hands meeting, we surprised our employees with iPad Minis as a small gesture of the company’s gratitude for their contributions.

Wonder what the company has planned if they have an even greater 2013?
