Interesting. I too was at Kenna, hired a few months before the acquisition was over. Don't remember hearing promises of interviewing. As far as I could tell, my role was leveled based on salary. Since I was an IC and promised shares would covert to cash, it all seemed OK to me. Perhaps I wasn't paying close enough attention?
Regardless, a dream offer landed before my shares vested, so I made the hard choice to leave empty handed. There did appear to be a lot of turnover before and after the acquisition. Though during M&A that's to be expected IME, so experiences may vary.
- tedivm 3y agoI didn't say they were going to interview people, just that I was told that each person would be reviewed separately and given custom offers based on their actual background. Then after being strung along for a month on that lie, I was told that they were going to level based on title instead without looking at the individuals background. As a result Cisco vastly under leveled me in their offer (I was able to get another job at the appropriate level pretty trivially, so it's not like I'm over judging my qualifications here).
