In a response to Ziarul Financiar’s request for comment, Amazon Development Center representatives said a decision regarding the number of roles impacted by the planned restructuring process is yet to be made, adding that for now, only the employees likely to be sacked were notified.
“Following an in-depth analysis, we have announced our plans which may include reducing the number of employees in the Retail Business Services team in Romania. We have already informed the employees whose roles may be impacted and we will take the necessary measures to protect their rights throughout this process,” Amazon said in a statement.
Amazon Development Center is engrossed in IT research and development (R&D) activities and in the provision of business services for segments such as retail and compliance.
In 2024, Amazon Development Center reported a turnover of RON802 million, up 14% year-over-year, net loss of RON30 million and an average number of 3,424 employees, fewer by 346 than in 2023.
