Intuit to lay off over 3k employees to refocus on AI

Intuit 将裁员超 3000 人，以专注于人工智能领域

Enterprise software giant Intuit is letting 17% of its staff go, or about 3,000 people, as it seeks to divert resources toward baking AI into its products, Reuters reported, citing an internal memo sent to employees. 据路透社援引一份发给员工的内部备忘录报道，企业软件巨头 Intuit 正在裁减 17% 的员工，约 3000 人，旨在将资源转向将人工智能（AI）整合到其产品中。

The memo by CEO Sasan Goodarzi said the layoffs are meant to reduce complexity by simplifying the company’s corporate structure and help it focus on AI efforts, according to Reuters. 据路透社报道，首席执行官 Sasan Goodarzi 在备忘录中表示，此次裁员旨在通过简化公司组织结构来降低复杂性，并帮助公司专注于 AI 业务。

The company, which makes accounting, tax, and personal finance software like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma, had 18,200 employees worldwide as of July 2025, according to its annual report. 根据其年度报告，截至 2025 年 7 月，这家生产 TurboTax、QuickBooks 和 Credit Karma 等会计、税务及个人理财软件的公司在全球拥有 18,200 名员工。

Intuit did not immediately return a request for comment, or respond to questions about whether its management, directors, or its CEO would take a pay cut. Goodarzi’s salary was worth $36.8 million, including cash incentives and stock awards, during fiscal 2025. Intuit 未能立即回复置评请求，也未回应关于其管理层、董事或首席执行官是否会减薪的问题。在 2025 财年，Goodarzi 的薪酬总额为 3680 万美元，其中包括现金激励和股票奖励。

The layoffs come during a bad year for the tech workforce. The tech industry has already cut more than 100,000 jobs this year, per Statista, and is on track to outpace both 2024 and 2025 if the layoff trend continues. 对于科技行业从业者来说，今年是艰难的一年。据 Statista 数据显示，科技行业今年已裁员超过 10 万人；如果裁员趋势持续，今年的裁员人数有望超过 2024 年和 2025 年。

Companies such as Amazon, Block, Cisco, Cloudflare, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have let go of thousands of employees each, all of them citing a need to refocus expenditures around AI projects as a reason to cut jobs and restructure their organizations. 亚马逊、Block、思科、Cloudflare、Meta、微软和甲骨文等公司均裁减了数千名员工，它们都将“需要将支出重新聚焦于 AI 项目”作为裁员和重组组织的原因。

At the same time, all of these companies have recently reported strong revenue and profit, citing the apparent strong demand for AI products, services, or the infrastructure to power AI. Nearly all these companies’ share prices have risen, too, as investors bet that AI will serve as a new avenue of growth for software companies everywhere. 与此同时，这些公司近期均报告了强劲的营收和利润，并指出市场对 AI 产品、服务或支撑 AI 的基础设施需求旺盛。几乎所有这些公司的股价也都出现了上涨，因为投资者押注 AI 将成为全球软件公司新的增长点。

Intuit, however, hasn’t been perceived as a beneficiary of the AI boom, with its shares consistently underperforming in the broader S&P 500 over the past 12 months. The company has been caught up in the broader current of worries that traditional software-as-a-service firms will not be able to keep up or compete, as new and upcoming AI products and services threaten to change how software is developed and how it is used. 然而，Intuit 并未被视为 AI 热潮的受益者，其股价在过去 12 个月里一直跑输标普 500 指数。随着新兴的 AI 产品和服务威胁到软件开发和使用方式的变革，该公司也陷入了人们对传统软件即服务（SaaS）公司能否跟上步伐或保持竞争力的普遍担忧之中。

In its fiscal second quarter ended January, Intuit reported revenue of $4.65 billion, a 17% increase, and net profit of $693 million, a 48% improvement compared to a year earlier. The company expects revenue to increase by about 10% in the third quarter, for which it will report results later today. 在截至 1 月的 2025 财年第二季度，Intuit 报告营收为 46.5 亿美元，同比增长 17%；净利润为 6.93 亿美元，较去年同期增长 48%。该公司预计第三季度营收将增长约 10%，并将于今日晚些时候公布财报。
