Google to Lay off Employees as it Merges Waze Mapping App with Google Ads Technology

The company had previously announced plans to consolidate Waze and Google Maps teams into a single division.

The number of layoffs was not disclosed.

The move is part of Google's effort to create a better and more seamless experience for Waze advertisers.

The job cuts will affect roles focused on Waze Ads monetization.

Google acquired Waze for about $1.3 billion in 2013.
