According to Reuters, the number of employees that will be downsized account to about 32 percent of Rovio’s workforce, most of which are from their headquarters’ in Finland. This excludes those who are part of the movie production in the U.S. and Canada.
TechCrunch reported that the layoffs are part of the restructuring in the company following the resignation of then CEO Mikael Hed in 2014 when the company profits went down by half. Rovio plans to pull out their book publishing and e-learning services. The company will refocus all resources on their key business areas including games, media, and consumer products.
Employees who are made redundant due to the reorganization will be provided with career support, Rovio had said.
