I work at a company that was acquired by Vista a few years ago and I haven't noticed much of that.
The main office is in a pretty expensive location and it is currently being expanded to close to double the size it was when the company was acquired.
There are a lot of young kids being hired, but also a lot of older people as well. Attrition has been pretty low and I think only a handful of people at the entire company have been layed off.
Cost cutting does not seem to have been particularly extreme if it has occurred. The benefits package and travel policies have gotten slightly more generous since the acquisition and annual raises have continued the trends from before the acquisition which made it possible to keep reasonably close to what you could get by changing companies.
