A friend of mine works for a tech start-up in a western european country, which has just been acquired by a US company. No significant stock options are at play. My friend is just an employee, not a founder. There&#x27;s always the threat that they&#x27;ll make everyone redundant, but let&#x27;s ignore that for now.<p>There are many legal and cultural differences between the US and Europe, but you don&#x27;t know what you don&#x27;t know. I wonder if anyone can expand on any other differences? Will the new US managers come in and expect something that&#x27;s totally illegal or totally out of the question. I don&#x27;t know anyone who&#x27;s worked in both EU &amp; US, so I don&#x27;t know what the differences are. Has anyone been through this before and have any advice of what to look out for?<p>It&#x27;s better for everyone if this goes smoothly, so any help anyone can give would be great.
