So, instead of fueling innovation, dollars are going to buying back shares, which will prop up the EPS but will do zero for growth. How many layoffs will need to be made to pay for that $250,000,000?

Considering how non-active this board is compared to my current company's, something tells me that applying at ACI wouldn't be a bad idea right now. I can see here that layoffs are not too much of an issue, but what about other stuff, like company... —  read more 

Any news? How is the old sales leader handling products? How is the engineer handling sales? Has Odilon wised up yet? Any more layoffs?

I haven't been here for long (going on two years) but I'm yet to find a place with a worse work culture than this place. My former workplace was bad, but at least the toxicity was mostly limited to my team and the company was okay. Here, the toxic... —  read more

This place is good at one thing, screwing it's most valuable asset, the employees. Non-stop lay-offs of good people. Remaining employees doing 2-3 people's job. Pay is miserable! ELT gets promoted despite screwing up time and time again. New head of... —  read more 

This company made promises to lure new employees or to retain talent and cut some great people. I should have known better than to come back to this company. Lack of vision, poor implementation of product strategies, etc.

Not good sign when Chief Revenue Officer leaves and ACI appoints engineer who was just named CTO to CRO position. New CRO knows nothing about sales or leading sales team. Disaster coming.

The website has been updated for the ELT. First, the South African is gone. His positions have been distributed to 2 others. The 2 previous Group Presidents keep their employment going despite poor performance and zero people skills. Little... —  read more

Looks like the new CEO is adding new blood and focusing on organic growth. As this growth hasn't been there for the past number of years under Phil, and all of the ELT was there for that, who will be held accountable? I can think of a couple... —  read more 

I just saw the 2020 outlook in the earnings press release that contained: “ $10 million of one-time charges to implement cost reduction strategies. “ Either they are closing offices or doing a bunch of layoffs. Which?

South African citizen with no ties to the US. Will probably end up selling the company.

Coming into layoff season at ACIW, any rumours or news? Saw they shuffled a couple of ELT positions around, wonder if that means something. Don't hear much here in the UK.
