November 13, 2024
AppLovin cut 120 employees
120 laid off Location SF Bay Area

AppLovin filed a WARN notice with California in November 2024 disclosing that 120 employees at its Palo Alto headquarters would be laid off, with separations effective November 15. The cuts came at a jarring moment for the mobile advertising company: its stock had surged roughly 77% in the preceding weeks, pushing its market capitalization to nearly $100 billion. No official explanation for the reductions was provided by the company, and executives made no public statement on the workforce change. The layoffs were classified as permanent under the WARN filing. Given the timing, analysts and media coverage framed the move as a post-growth-sprint consolidation, though AppLovin did not confirm that characterization. No details on severance or affected teams beyond the Palo Alto location were reported.

Reason: Undisclosed; occurred amid rapid stock appreciation
