  • Google laid off hundreds of employees in the Platforms & Devices division, which includes Android, Chrome, Pixel, and more.
  • The layoffs aim to make Google 'more nimble and operate more effectively,' with no immediate impact expected on end users.
  • The Platforms & Devices division, led by SVP Rick Osterloh, was formed in April 2024 after merging Platforms & Ecosystems and Devices & Services.
  • Google introduced a voluntary exit program earlier in 2024 to address criticism of previous layoffs and improve 'speed and efficiency.'
  • The division covers Android (Auto, TV, Wear OS, XR), Chrome, ChromeOS, Google Photos, Google One, Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest.
