Doesn't change the fact that being bought by a PE firm is a very bad sign for customers of the business.
For something easily switchable like your favorite retail shop you can - and should if you don't want the collapse to hasten - continue as before, but for something your business depends on like CI it's a huge red flag that you should switch to a different supplier.

- johannes1234321 6y agoWell, a collapse gives you certainty.
- kristianc 6y agoAnd how often are companies castigated on here for getting acqui-hired and shutting down? Seems like it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario.
- names_are_hard 6y agoAgreed. When a service gets bought by a PE firm it's a bad sign. It's not the cause of trouble but a sure symptom.
