affected
FintechOS, a Romanian-founded fintech startup, has conducted layoffs as part of a restructuring effort aimed at achieving profitability. While the company's co-founder and CSO, Sergiu Neguț, confirmed the workforce reductions in a November 2023 announcement, he did not specify the exact number of employees affected. However, public reports suggest the company, which had around 550 employees two years ago, may now have fewer than 200 staff following multiple rounds of cuts. The layoffs reflect broader market pressures for mature startups to streamline operations and focus on sustainable growth.
Telenav
172
affected
On May 10, 2023, U.S.-based location services company Telenav announced the closure of its office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, by the end of 2024, resulting in layoffs for all 172 employees at that site. The company cited a difficult macroeconomic environment as the reason for the decision, aligning with broader tech industry downsizing trends. Affected staff will receive a comprehensive support package during the transition. Work from the Cluj office, which included contributions to ADAS development, map rendering, and OEM customer support, will be relocated to Telenav's other offices in the United States and China.
