Dear Fellow PSE Users,
Interviewing with a large corporation ahead of possible IPO
Company maybe going public. How does it affect the existing employees?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
While preparing for an interview with a very large corporation, I found out that the company is considering going public within the next year. (I saw this in multiple public news forums, with reputable articles directly quoting the CEO about it).
This gets me nervous because I would think it's a bad idea to join a company so soon before an IPO. Is this a valid concern?
Do companies typically fire large numbers of employees when undergoing an IPO? (In other words, as a new employee, would I be more at risk of losing my job if they go public?)
I read this post which discusses the different options that might happen to current employees during an IPO. The common denominator, of course, is that the IPO provides the company with a nice cash infusion. Does a potential IPO indicate that the corporation's financials need some help?
Lastly, a question specific to the job type that I'm applying for: This would be an management position heavily focused on the data across departments. Probably a dumb question, but would the company's software, assets, & data change a lot after an IPO? For example, I know that company acquisitions often result in lots of data merging and changing, but IPOs are obviously quite different than acquisitions...
My post is different from the link I referenced because my focus here is about how this would affect an new employee (rather than an existing employee), and especially what considerations would be relevant to a decision to join a company that's clearly considering going public.
