What kind of spider is this? A name or a link would be appreciated. Found it at work and would like to know how rare it is.

It's a species of orb weaver spider.

OP here. Found this guy in CA, and from the pictures, it seems that anon has delivered. Looks like a common garden spider, nothing exotic...=(
