More IPO Madness


To get the people at the Palo Alto headquarters all jazzed up about the IPO, they held an IPO breakfast party in the cafeteria of our new campus. We currently have about 3,000 employees and about 1,000 of them showed up by about 530 AM for the 600 am party. There was a live video feed of the executive staff at the NYSE ringing the opening bell, hot breakfast, espresso drinks and champagne were served to the employees. I've never been at a company that has gone public before...this I must say was a really great experience. There was so much anticipation and excitement in the air and collectively everyone was feeling the same feeling of mutual accomplishment that what they do every day is making a difference.
