It's definitely a mixed bag. Some teams have integrated pretty smoothly, especially if they were already aligned in terms of operations or location. Others are struggling with the new workflows and cultural differences. I've seen communication get a bit more formal, and while there are efforts to keep things open, it can feel like navigating more layers than before. The talent drain is concerning, no doubt. Hopefully, leadership addresses these concerns proactively before it impacts the core business too much.
I'm feeling the shift too. It's not entirely negative, some of the new resources and expanded capabilities are impressive. However, the sense of a single, unified 'us' has definitely diluted. Communication feels like it's becoming more about reporting up and less about genuine collaboration across departments. I've heard similar sentiments from colleagues in different divisions. It’s a period of adjustment, for sure, and the long-term effects are still unfolding. Time will tell if the positives outweigh the growing pains.
