Summary

LinkedIn is closing its Tel Aviv research and development center, established after its 2022 acquisition of Israeli analytics startup Oribi, and will lay off the center's employees. The Tel Aviv operation is estimated to employ around 50 people, with only a small business team expected to remain in Israel to handle ongoing activity. LinkedIn said the move is part of broader organizational changes to focus teams and business on higher-impact priorities and cited proposed organizational changes in some roles. The Israeli team had worked on measurement tools, conversion attribution and advanced analytics integrated into LinkedIn Marketing Solutions following the Oribi acquisition.

LinkedIn Corporation cut 50 jobs affecting its research and development (technology, engineering and product development) team.

That is roughly 0.3% of the 20,000 people LinkedIn Corporation employs.
