1.33 billion yuan-Alibaba Alibaba this afternoon announced the acquisition of pea pods, peas-IT information

Alibaba has finally officially announced the acquisition of pea pods. And persons related to the acquisition, told reporters that details of the acquisition will today (July 5) afternoon officially announced, expected purchase amount is $ 200 million, or about $ 1.33 billion yuan.

Rumors tend to be fulfilled, and this one is no exception. Just this past weekend, we may have seen a lot of news about peas acquired by Alibaba, the specific details are still not very clear, will be answered until this afternoon's press conference.

See peas in today's circumstances, third-person perspective can be complex, some sad, some people thought "as a" hero of people who feel no need to follow his success or failure. However, who had personally worked with this company, they feel the changes probably will have very different and the outside world.

The beginning of 2013, pea pods just 100 people, but it is already a star in the industry, I know of some Internet workers after that joined the "rocket". During this time, pea pod ordered culture to new employees should still be quite attractive, I know people think it's kind of like the unique style of the new company, and transparent internal control also allows the couple to learn more new things.

When Baidu in July 2013 with a $ 1.9 billion acquisition of 91 o'clock, also inflate valuations of pea pods. After 4 months, pea pods up to 200 and will eventually grow to 500 or so.

For a still fast-growing startups, hiring did not appear to be any problems quickly, but then pea pods in which employees feel the company expanded too fast, management couldn't keep up. This change accompanied by internal contradictions ends up in the popular anonymous social software has caused much speculation.

By the end of 2014, see anonymous social software discussion on pea pods, everyone would be difficult for those anonymous speech and pea pods associated with the appearance of a year ago, but which is invisible in the peas.

As a spectator, you might ask what makes pea pods in a year's time, such big changes? To tell you the truth, I don't know the answer, but in terms of personal experience: in all types of organizations, destroy the already formed good culture often makes it easy, but cohesion had the heart is very difficult.

From the beginning of second half of 2015 to 2016, pea pod lots in droves employees to leave. Some of these people went from the pea pod split of the new company, while others are completely gone. After this time fluctuation of personnel, pea pod number of employees from a peak of almost 500 people down to about 100 people, and finally in early 2013 the number of flat .

After this period, the author knew almost pea pods are all former employees, but these people have good and bad about evaluation of peas. One of them told me: he does not expect the new company culture than the peas well, but I didn't know how Low it is.

Although the pea in the pod today was formally returned to the Alibaba group, but for those of you who experienced growth and twists and turns and it, in another place pea pods after this experience also has missed time.

13.3亿元，阿里巴巴今天下午将宣布收购豌豆荚 - 阿里巴巴,豌豆荚 - IT资讯

阿里巴巴终于要正式宣布收购豌豆荚了。与收购相关的人士告诉记者，这次收购的具体消息将在今天（7月5日）下午正式对外公布，预计收购金额是2亿美元，约合人民币13.3亿元。

传言往往都会被应验，这次也没有例外。在刚刚过去的周末，大家可能已经看到了不少关于豌豆荚被阿里巴巴收购的新闻，但具体的细节却还不是很清晰，要等到今天下午的发布会才会有解答。

看到豌豆荚今天的境遇，旁观者的观点可能比较复杂，有人觉得惋惜、有人觉得“作”，也有人觉得没必要以成败论英雄。不过，对于亲身在这家公司供职过的人来说，他们所感受到的变化或许和外界会有一些不同。

2013年初，豌豆荚虽然刚刚到100人，但却已经是行业里的明星公司了，我认识的一些互联网从业者也在这之后纷纷加入了这艘“火箭”。在这段时间，豌豆荚的文化对新员工应该还是挺有吸引力的，我所熟悉的人们都觉得挺喜欢这家风格独特的新公司，透明的内部管理也让新人能学到更多新东西。

当百度在2013年7月以19亿美元收购91时，豌豆荚的估值自然也跟着水涨船高。4个多月后，豌豆荚的人数达到200并最终增长到500名左右。

对于一家仍然在快速成长的初创公司来说，快速招人好像没什么问题，不过那时身在其中的豌豆荚员工却已经感觉到公司扩张的太快，管理有点跟不上了。这种变化伴随着内部矛盾最终在当时流行的匿名社交软件上引发了不少猜测。

到了2014年底，看匿名社交软件上关于豌豆荚的讨论，大家恐怕很难把那些匿名言论和豌豆荚一年前的样子联系在一起，但这又的确是隐形中的豌豆荚。

作为旁观者，大家可能会问是什么因素让豌豆荚在一年多的时间里产生如此大的变化？说实话，我也没有答案，不过就个人感受来说：在各类组织中，摧毁已经形成的好文化往往很容易，但重新凝聚已经散了的人心却很难。

从2015年下半年到2016年初，豌豆荚陆陆续续有不少员工离职。这些人有的去了从豌豆荚剥离的新公司，有些则是彻底的离开了。在这一次人员波动之后，豌豆荚的员工数量从高峰时的差不多500人降到了100人左右，最终和2013年初的数量基本持平。

这段时期过后，笔者所认识的豌豆荚员工几乎都成了前员工，但这些人对豌豆荚的评价有好有坏。他们其中的一位就告诉过我：自己其实并不期望新公司的文化氛围能比豌豆荚的好，但没想到的是竟然这么Low。

虽然说豌豆荚今天就要被正式归到阿里巴巴集团里了，但对于那些和它一起经历过成长和波折的人来说，换个地方后豌豆荚的这份经历也有让人怀念的时候。
