what I found
when a larger company bought the one I was with, was that there were interviews for all, but they said 'don't bother with a resume' and the interviewers seemed to be digging around conversationally for various 'interesting' engineering and technical accomplishments rather than humdrum projects and corporate-style achievement of 'management by objectives' targets. There was a design ongoing at the time. A few months later, when the design had been completed and set in stone, the entire design team was simply dismissed. The field application engineers and marketing were kept.
