“After careful review, we announced we were considering the option to close AGI Data Services operations in Romania,“ Amazon says in the statement quoted by Doru Supeala.
Amazon has already notified the employees whose roles could be affected and undertakes to provide support to them throughout transition. The department that is being cut, called AGI Data Services in the company, managed and validated data to feed AI models and applications, Amazon said in the release.
Doru Supeala said, “the communication department of Amazon officially confirmed to me the decision to shut down the operations of AGI Data Services team in Romania completely.”
UPDATE
Amazon has provided new information on the closing of the AGI Data Services operations in Romania. Its officials said the process had nothing to do with Amazon Development Center Romania, one of the Amazon companies in the country.
“I can confirm the process has nothing to do with Amazon Development Center Romania,” an Amazon representative told ZF.
Amazon is one of the largest employers in the tech industry in Romania and operates via five companies in this country – Amazon Development Center Romania, Amazon Data Services Romania, Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL Luxemburg Sucursala Bucuresti, Amazon MLS Romania and Amazon Kuiper Services Europe SARL Luxemburg Sucursala Bucuresti.
