The announcement mentions R&D and IT, which probably includes some developers, but it doesn't say Engineering. They also say they're going to continue to hire, while reducing headcount - sounds to me like winnowing the herd.
- Goladus 18y agoAt a company that size there doesn't actually have to be much more to it than what they say. Project A might have too many developers and not enough QA, project B might be short developers and too much QA. Project A gets dev positions cut and project B gets QA positions cut, but they're still hiring for the open slots in both cases. At a small company, it's fairly trivial to just move people from A to B etc. But when you're steering a ship with thousands of employees it's not worth it.
