As an employee of a company (in a completely different industry), that was taken over in a friendly takeover with the promise of "no fundamental changes" I call BS. If things do stay the same, it'll only be in the short term.
EDIT - I'm not saying that there will be major changes. I'm just saying that a friendly take-over is by no means a guarantee that things will stay the same.
