AMZN•Amazon cut up to 250 jobs in its devices and services unit, primarily in software development, after weeks of product rollouts. The company said the cuts would help it operate more efficiently and align with its product roadmap.
Amazon cut about 250 jobs on Wednesday in its devices and services unit. A person familiar with the matter said the cuts affected no more than 250 jobs, primarily in software development.
A spokesperson said Amazon had made the decision to eliminate a small number of roles to operate more efficiently and better align with its product roadmap. Earlier this month, Amazon cut about 1,000 jobs in its core retail division; the company was due to report third-quarter earnings after the market close on Thursday.
