Is acquisition interview bar more laid back?
Say a tier1/tier2 company is acquiring the startup I work for, for the product + the people, and we’ve been told everyone will be given a single interview for “leveling” purposes should I be prepping for leetcode hards? Or is the bar more relaxed?
leveling means tc, right?

pikachui OP May 15, 2019I presume it means like sde, sde2, sr, etc; which ultimately ties to TC
It’s not really laid back at all. You need to fight for your life. Explain your value and you won’t be asked much about skills, as much as about your personality and grit. If you’re weak, you’ll get put on the chopping block.
I have no doubt that my manager and higher ups will have my back in regards to my contributions and value I provide, but are you suggesting that rather than prepping for whiteboarding, I should focus on prepping some elevator pitches about my value?
The latter.
