If you're coming in from an acquisition, beware!: opiniones de empleados con el puesto de Senior User Experience Designer en Valtech

I joined Valtech when my company was acquired. My experience over the last year has ranged from neutral to downright abysmal. This review is mainly for those in the same acquisition boat--I am not sure how my opinion would be if I had just joined Valtech outright. During the process of merging into broader Valtech, my company had to make several large changes to operations and workflow within a very short amount of time. Management claimed these would be rolled out with advanced notice, but communication broke down quickly and my coworkers and I had no visibility into what was coming next, what would change in our daily work, and why this was happening. Fair, constructive feedback was met with hostility and retaliation from management who were seemingly unable to handle the idea that they were in the wrong. There's gatekeeping of information and gaslighting of employee feedback and complaints under the guise that this is all normal for an acquired company. Recently some folks were laid off with no notice to their functional groups and operational teams--some people who were fired literally did a 6AM deployment and were gone by lunch. There has been extremely limited communication on what happens next, who will be taking those folks' workload, and how we can expect our daily operations to change. TLDR; if you're acquired anticipate that your work will change, your team will be broken up, and you'll be made to feel like you're the problem if you raise concerns
