Being acquired is always seen as this awesome thing but it can be terrible for a lot of people. I didn't have enough equity to make enough to buy a used Honda Civic. I don't care for the culture of the new company but I'm still working there. Pretty much everyone on my direct team left, found a new position in the new company, or were let go. The same thing happened in most areas. Our founders did take care of us by ensuring we get 4 weeks of vacation instead of having to wait 15 years for that, so that's something. Another plus is that I managed to double my startup salary.
