Being acquired is good and bad.
Pros: They make a lot of money.  They seem to fix some of the obvious stuff.
Cons: It's pretty clear that they really aren't run that well, they just have a cash cow in their database that covers up for a lot of mistakes.  IT infrastructure is a joke.  Benefits are mediocre for a company this size.  I find it hard to believe you can innovate here unless we are talking about small evolutions of existing products.
