Pros
I was part of Magenic who was acquired by CSV in 2021. Note that there is no positive mentioned here.
Cons
Everything I have to say will be relative to Magenic, but Magenic was a great place to work, with lots of cool and smart and down to earth people. All of the managers told us to sit tight, that things wouldn't change- which of course they were given direct orders to spread that messaging, because part (all) of being acquired when you are in consulting, is that you're really acquiring a labor force. We don't produce anything- consultants themselves are the product. Hindsight is 20/20, but of course came the day that the acquisition was fully sealed, and that very morning the bloodletting happened- all of the C-suite and a number of well-liked managers were immediately severed. Morale dropped. People fled. I was one of them. Gossip on the street says that CSV high leadership themselves were in hot water for one reason or another. Maybe they were too busy dealing with that, but it never really felt like we were part of any organization once Magenic was washed away. A strange limbo. So, not the worst of situations, but also life is too short to just continue to sit at an organization that feels like an absentee parent.
