Generally any information regarding an upcoming merger or acquisition is extremely tightly controlled. Unless you work in the executive team or a team that would be directly involved in a potential merger, it's unlikely you'd hear anything. I too work at a large, public company. My company acquires companies semi-regularly and I've never heard about any of them ahead of the public announcement.
