I'm torn on this one. Seems notable enough to me, since the company has been on the list of best companies to work for three different times ... but the current article reads like advertizing... Brian 15:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)btball[reply]

Removed the advertizing and POV

It's still a pretty minimal article though, so I added a stub tag and request for expansion Brian 15:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)btball[reply]

Not Advert

This is standard language (at least the first paragraph) but the 2nd paragraph is about Stowers and his wife. Notable indeed, but for his entry not American Century Investments.--WondoMathias (talk) 20:45, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Post-buyout status

Is there any updated info that can be included on the current state of affairs at the company?

While it had long prided itself on its spotless track record, that was before the death of Jim Stowers and the subsequent sale of large parts of the company to a foreign holding company who does have multiple incidents of misconduct in recent years.

Surely, someone must have some balanced insight?
