Linkedin has laid off more than 600 employees across multiple departments, including engineering, marketing, and product teams, as the company continues restructuring efforts tied to operational efficiency and long-term growth.
The job cuts were disclosed through regulatory filings and are expected to impact workers across several offices, with a significant number of roles based in California. Reports indicate that affected employees were informed the layoffs will take effect in July.
Company executives reportedly described the restructuring as part of a broader strategy to streamline operations, reduce layers of management, and improve profitability while increasing focus on AI-driven products and automation tools.
The layoffs follow earlier workforce reductions at the professional networking platform over the past few years, despite continued revenue growth and expanding investment in artificial intelligence features across recruitment and enterprise services.
