Thanks - not my company though, I am just a worker bee in a fairly large org though with a small feel about to join the big tech mothership

Consider a job search. For reasons that have nothing to do with you personally, there may be no intent to make you a Microsoft employee.

If you are searching you don’t have to take another job if offered, but you have a contingency plan and other options should things not go as swimmingly as a person might hope.

It's pretty common to have to re-interview for engineering jobs with the acquirer. A lot of engineers get cut in that scenario.

So make sure you update your resume and ask around if re-interviewing will be required.
