What's worse is, that they also acquired multiple competing businesses on the market with similar products in a very short time frame, Web Content Management Software in our case. That was about a decade ago. This wreaked havoc on the morale of the teams within.
On one hand, they had to handle a new management and culture of a global company, which is completely different compared to the smaller scale they worked in before.
On the other hand, each team knew, that they had to prove to management, that their product was superior compared to the others. Any attempt to integrate those products with each other or learn from them was futile, because you could not simply remove competitive behavior among those teams.
The best decision in my life was leaving this nightmare. I never heard of the products again.
