Acxiom – “Acxiom is a frustrating employer who can't see the forest for the trees.”
Pros
Good, talented co-workers + broad solution offerings + recognized brand
Cons
Little value for the employee, very little delegation or empowerment due to top-down management, focus on week-to-week metrics borders on the obsessive. Good-ole-boy network in Arkansas perpetuates environment that doesn't value innovation or strategy.
Advice to Senior Management
Remove your EDS biases and quit trying to turn Acxiom into another EDS. Also, move the HQ out of Arkansas!
