Google’s Android, Pixel, and Chrome teams reportedly trimmed in April

What’s going on at Google?

Google has reportedly eliminated hundreds of jobs its “platforms and devices” unit — which houses a variety teams, including Android, Pixel, and Chrome.

“Since combining the platforms and devices teams last year, we’ve focused on becoming more nimble and operating more effectively and this included making some job reductions in addition to the voluntary exit program that we offered in January,” a spokesperson for the tech giant told The Information.

The update comes just weeks after Google announced in March that it’s entered into an agreement to acquire cloud security startup Wiz for $32 billion.
