I'm interviewing for a start up ~400 people that got recently bought by a private equity investor.
Is that a good or a bad thing? What are the implications? Is there such thing as stocks, options, etc in this case? Can the company still IPO?
I have very little knowledge in the matter and would appreciate some clarification.
Thanks!

What’s the offer composition? If options, ask very precise questions about strike price and company valuation. If rsu’s ask about how they can monetized.
Which pe firm? Some firms are growth oriented. Others are turnaround experts. Other are specialists in navigating financially distressed situations like potential bankruptcy.
What’s the pe firm’s ownership percentage, who has voting control of the company, what are their goals for their investment? An ipo/selling out to someone else mean different things for you.
