LinkedIn's Office Space meets the Strip
Walking into LinkedIn this past week has been akin to cruising the strip in Vegas. Different teams have elegantly and some not-so-elegantly (hey, is that our Vegas dedication?) decorated their cubicles in the spirit of teamwork and fun. Ever since, Candy Mielke, Julie Grosso and the HR team, challenged the teams to upgrade to some Cube Chic, we've been working on a few ideas and here are the results.
Although, there were three winners in both the categories; teams and individuals, I thought we should mention everyone's contribution since independent of how long each team worked on it, the changes have transformed the company and now when I walk in to work...well, why don't we take a walk through some of the individual cubicle creations:
- Michael Nguyen – Groovy Golf
- Veronica Vallez – Retro Backyard
- Maria Becerra – Safari
- Helen Shyu – Shanghai 1930’s
- Agiladevi Ramanthan – Autumn
- Ryan Gustafson – Camp Runamuck
- Adi Alurkar – Geek Central (Adi says it's still "work in progress")
- Katie Dellamaggiore – Napa Valley Visitor Center
- Jay Thomas – The Art Gallery
- Shirley Xu – Botanical Gardens
- Steven Perez – Wine Country Brewery
- Brittany Schmitt – Wine Country Spa
- Brendon Cassidy – the 9th Hole
- Brandon Salom – Restaurant “The Laundry”
- Brooke Watts – the Day Spa
- Nick Welihozkiy – The Tourist Trap
- Loretta Thomas - The Railroad Crossing
- George Seiters – Executive Wine Tasting Room
- Orly Keren – The Farmer’s Market

These may not compare to the Vegas creations, but hey come on cut us some slack -- these cubicles were decorated between sips of coffee, red bull and weekend work. However, the most satisfying part was working as a team putting it all together. And, hey, it was all worth it.
Feel free to leave a comment on which of the above is your favorite office space. We'll reveal the winning contributions next week.
