About

On February 15, 2023, Brazilian digital bank Neon conducted a mass layoff, affecting approximately 210 employees, which represents about 9% of its total workforce. The cuts primarily targeted the technology, product, and agile project teams across all seniority levels. This move comes about a year after Neon achieved unicorn status with a $300 million funding round. The fintech cited necessary adjustments to face macroeconomic challenges and a reprioritization of initiatives as reasons for the layoffs, aligning with a broader trend of workforce reductions in the startup and digital banking sector.
