Interesting; how is it that employees are able to trade right after the IPO? I thought there was a waiting period for insiders.

not every employee is an insider. Public companies that issue stock to employees can limit the number of people that are made privy to non-public information about the performance of the company, such that some/many employees are allowed to freely trade.
