Not challenging peoples capabilities doesn't scale well. Did you ever hire someone with 0 interviews, just because they work for another good company? Then why do that after M&A?
Its not unusual for the force cuts to be done via interviews at the new company
- konradb 3y ago> Then why do that after M&A? Presumably if you trust the organisation enough to pay for the whole thing, you would have a measure of trust in their ability to hire?
- anotherhue 3y agoDepends what you’re really paying for. If it’s about the IP, the market access, or a particular individual (seen this myself) then the rest of the org might be dead weight.

- tedivm 3y agoYou're misreading my statement. My point is that they didn't do interviews. They just gave everyone absolutely crap offers, without actually interviewing or evaluating individuals. Hiring people with 0 interviews just because they worked for the purchased company is exactly what happened, and they did it in such a way that people were grossly under leveled.
