There have been talks about a possible acquisition for our company. Does anyone here have experience with it? Would love to know if there are higher chances for some functions to be let go and for some to be kept.

Largely depends on the acquiring company and what infrastructure they have to take on your company’s work. Acquirers will often keep, at least for a time, those who have roles unique to their current setup. That said, they could structure it so all or no one is kept. It really depends on the structure of the deal. Polish up your resume just in case and keep the conversation open with your manager. You can ask for them to talk you up when the time comes.

Your company should have a policy on severance when you are let go due to acquisition. Look it up.
