Google has started a major restructuring of its Devices & Services teams, which oversee products like Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit, as per a 9to5Google report. The tech giant is shifting from separate divisions for each product line to a functional organization model, similar to Apple's approach. The reorganization will result in layoffs for several hundred roles within Devices & Services, primarily affecting the first-party augmented reality (AR) hardware team. Some Fitbit leaders are also departing the company.
