Intuit Cuts 1,800 Jobs, Immediately Rehires 1,800 for AI-Focused Roles

Intuit laid off 10% of its workforce—1,800 employees—while committing to hire 1,800 workers in engineering, marketing, and customer support to accelerate AI integration. CEO Sasan Goodarzi framed it as strategic realignment, not cost reduction. Severance includes 16 weeks' pay plus two weeks per year of tenure, plus six months health coverage. The move echoes how cloud-era software firms restructured to emphasize emerging technical skills while maintaining overall headcount.
