Google reorganizing Pixel hardware: Fitbit’s James Park leaving, layoffs hit AR team

Google is reorganizing the Devices & Services teams responsible for Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit hardware. This was announced to employees...

Previously, the Pixel, Nest, and Fitbit divisions had distinct, independent teams to handle aspects such as design, hardware engineering, software, UI, etc. It remains to be seen whether this will lead to more unified products across the different form factors, with the Pixel phone team largely staying in place today from what we’ve heard. This reorganization will see Google lay off a few hundred roles across Devices & Services, though the majority is happening within the first-party augmented reality hardware team.
