Acquiring companies normally don't really want to preserve the culture or DNA of the acquired company, in my experience (even when they say they do).
Ultimately, they want the whole company running by the same policies and procedures. They don't want to maintain carve-outs for subunits that used to be separate companies.
- ornornor 5y agoTrue. I am always amazed at the “we just got acquired by $HugeEnterpriseyCorporation, it’s been an amazing journey and nothing will change we remain the same, just as a part of $BigCompany” As soon as the delayed bonus to the execs is due (usually 1–3 years), everyone quits in troves and it’s downhill from there.
