Amdocs is embarking on another round of layoffs. It is estimated that the software company will cut around 2,000 jobs, accounting for approximately 6.5% of the company's workforce. In Israel, the reduction rate will be slightly lower, with Amdocs bidding farewell to 200 employees out of the 5,000 employed in the country. This constitutes a reduction of approximately 5%.

Amdocs, with approximately 31,000 employees, hasn’t been affected by the economic downturn as much as many other high-tech companies. The company has presented positive financial reports in recent quarters and has even increased dividends for shareholders. Amdocs shares have also demonstrated a positive return since the beginning of the year, with the company currently having a market cap of nearly $12 billion.
