The first acquisition I was apart of wasn’t too bad! But we were still culturally very different. So after 2 years and properly transitioning things, I bounced to another start up.

Walking into something like that is tough because the two teams sort of don’t like each other and you’re really “neither”. I’d want to make sure I was interviewed by both teams

>you’re really “neither”.

IMO, this is where the power of being hired into the situation is. No existing bias for either company and all the baggage that comes with that.

Allows a person to see the pros and cons of how things get done on both sides of the fence, and act accordingly
