What do people think of the latest announcement of Google acquiring Wiz? As a new member of Wiz, do I run the risk of being reorg and laid off?

Typically, Wiz may have negotiated a period of time for which all existing employees will be retained (~3 years), so for that period of time, you should be safe (unless you do something egregious)

Google Cloud Security has had some acquisitions, and those members have become key parts of the team.

If anything, the Google security team is at a greater risk of layoff than you guys. We bought you bc we want you, and bc we don’t want the folks we have now lmao

People are already starting to be laid off. So it is a bit of a strange timing as well as contrary to the messaging, these people were top performers and were laid off for no given reason.

I suggest reading the reviews here and filter by the lowest score ones to get a good picture of Wiz.
