Risk of joining Figma?

With the Adobe acquisition underway, feels there is risk the higher Figma salary will be downgraded to Adibe salary. Not sure how common that is with acquisition. Also curious about the risk of layoffs post acquisition to prevent folks that are pending the 1 year cliff

Its probably the other way around. If acquisition doesnโ€™t go through, the rsus drop in value by 50%.

No point joining now. You'll be the only non-millionaire in the office

Heard itโ€™s a super toxic environment fwiw. And I say this as a Meta employee.

Iโ€™ve heard the opposite and that itโ€™s an amazingly positive environment.

Not sure where you heard that ๐Ÿค” from a ex-meta person?

Ask that you can't get terminated without cause in the first 24 months. Depending on your level, it may be accepted

It is not unusual that comp plans are adjusted as part of the acquisition and you could end up with less when they adjust job levels and orgs. Could take a year or two for them to sort that out. Adobe's CEO has been vocal about not doing layoffs but reorgs are common I am told. So plan for your two year honeymoon and then see where you are at.
