Pros
I have always loved the culture and people I worked with at Sqware Peg. In light of this new acquisition, everyone seems to have a re-invigorated drive, which is really exciting to see. The leadership team has been extremely open with all of us about the acquisition, and placed a lot of trust in the team to act professionally. I have been through an acquisition before at a previous company where everything was kept very much under wraps and we didn't find out much until it was released publicly. I can hands down say that this has been handled excellently from an internal perspective. Everything so far has been well explained, very transparent and any small changes have been seamless. Also love the branded beach balls!
Cons
There were some minor disruptions with calendar invites as the IT teams pushed to merge our emailing systems across, although to their credit, they contacted us many times to ensure everyone's emails and calendars were fixed, so the impact was minimal.
