One thing to look out for is that until you’re wholely absorbed in, expect your parent company to offer high powered but disgruntled or burnt out managers and individuals from elsewhere in the company positions in your department. They’ll do this in an attempt to retain these folks by offering them an interesting new challenge, but in the vast majority of cases, they’ll spend a few months to a year half-heartedly trying you out and then leaving anyway.
- roguecoder 7y agoThe only exception to this is if your company actually is a different atmosphere from the parent company and the people coming in have some reason they'd fit better there than in the rest of the company. I had good luck collecting dissatisfied high performers from a parent company, but they always went through an interview process, and I always started by having them take two weeks of vacation and only then come back for on-boarding, as though they were new hires I had just successfully poached.
