Dezeen ran a photo-heavy feature today about LinkedIn's offices on the 28th floor of the Empire State Building, which, sometime between 2012 and now, apparently went full Facebook with a renovation that includes a "hidden speakeasy," billiards table, vestibule covered with 133 rotary phones, bright blue hallway, and more. LinkedIn is neither the first company to decorate its offices like its a futuristic children's museum, nor will it be the last, as companies all over are seeing the benefits of giving employees lots of toys to play with and colors to look at.
