About
Roku, a TV streaming hardware and software company, announced layoffs affecting approximately 10% of its workforce, which translates to more than 300 employees, as part of efforts to reduce operating expenses that have been growing rapidly. The company, which had around 3,600 full-time employees at the end of 2022, is also consolidating office space, reviewing its content portfolio, and limiting new hires. This follows a previous round of layoffs in March 2023, where about 200 employees were let go. Roku expects to incur significant costs related to severance and impairment charges due to these changes, with its revenue primarily driven by advertising from its platform, including The Roku Channel, despite reporting a net loss in the second quarter of 2023.
