Google has reportedly laid off hundreds of employees from its platforms and devices unit, impacting Android, Pixel, and Chrome teams.

The layoffs follow Google’s January buyout offers to employees in the unit, as per reports. A spokesperson stated that the restructuring aimed to improve agility and efficiency, leading to job reductions alongside a voluntary exit program.

Google has yet to respond to Reuters’ request for comment on the layoffs. In February, Bloomberg reported job cuts in Google’s cloud division, though only a few teams were affected.

In January 2023, Alphabet announced plans to reduce its global workforce by 12,000 jobs, which is 6% of the total.
