I've read from blog posts and even from conversations that companies require acquihires, particularly non-founder employees, to go through an interview process. It may be shortened, but they still often have to do the typical algorithmic interviews. I'll see if I can find one of the blog posts I've read about the process. Note: to be clear, I'm describing the process for acquihires, not founders just wanting to sell their company and walk away with some cash (which actually seems to be somewhat unusual). Edit: this was discussed in a similar thread on HN just last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18943500 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18943500
