Later a LinkedIn spokesperson confirmed the news and said,

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

Weiner certainly has every reason to celebrate as the company had a phenomenal fourth quarter for 2012. The results meant LinkedIn beat analyst estimates for the seventh quarter in a row and sent shares of the company, which have doubled in the past 12 months, soaring. LinkedIn’s Q4 revenue stood at $303.6 million, with a net income of $11.5 million.
