I have a third round interview tomorrow with a company that I'm really excited about. It's a fully remote position within a successful sector, and I feel like the team would be a great fit for me. However, I just found out that the company is being acquired by a private equity firm, and the news has created quite a stir in my current close-knit industry. Everyone seems shocked, and I'm starting to wonder about the stability of the role I'm applying for. I'm planning to bring this up during the interview, even though I know they might not have all the details yet. I want to gauge the team's feelings about the acquisition and whether they anticipate any disruptions to their daily operations. I’ve heard that private equity acquisitions can be tough on employees, especially in creative roles, so I want to be cautious. I’m thinking of asking about their retention plans and if there are any plans for restructuring, since that usually hints at potential layoffs. If they seem evasive or give me vague corporate answers, I’ll take that as a red flag.
