Google lays off hundreds of employees in Android, Pixel teams

Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, cut hundreds of jobs in its Android and Pixel phone divisions, according to a Friday report from The Information, which cited an insider source. The layoffs, affecting the unit responsible for Android, Pixel phones, Chrome browser, and other apps, come after Google offered buyouts to employees in the same division in January, the report noted.

Bloomberg in February reported that Google had laid off employees in its cloud division, adding that the round of cuts impacted only a few teams.

In January 2023, Alphabet had announced plans to cut 12,000 jobs, or 6% of its global workforce.
