Acquired company salary packages takes a deep dive.
Pros: Large partner network to sell software through.  Existing relationships that can speed up a sales cycle.
Cons: Bureaucratic nightmare.  Coming from an acquired company with a flat org structure, there's a definite culture shock.  Pay packages are also very lopsided and non-negotiable.
