should an employee stay at a private equity portfolio company?

my private equity friends, you know how the biz works, what would you suggest? yahoo is now owned by private equity, as an employee does it make sense to stick around or look elsewhere? they're already removing folks and putting in new leaders...

They always turn it into an extreme meritocracy. It can be a rocketship to the top, but all the fat will also be cut

does that mean only executives and leaders make out and the rank-and-file are the slaves on the ship (those that survive)?

Is this really true? I can't think of any examples of PE backed/owned companies that had incredible growth or amazing products (which I assume would be a byproduct of a "pure meritocracy"). Genuinely wondering, would love to know any examples
