Nobody lied when we were acquired in 2016. Everyone was told ahead of time that they would be interviewed and not everyone would be hired.


I hope things have changed, but then again, it could have been your management's decision. A friend from grad school came in on another acquisition as CTO of the company being acquired. He told me that he ignored M&A's suggestion to lie about the interview process to his team.


For those they don’t hire, do they give a severance or other package for comp?


I don't remember exactly. I believe they got accelerated vesting with all shares converted to cash at the acquisition price. Maybe other stuff too.
