Robinhood is slashing 23% of full-time staffers

The layoffs come alongside a broader company reorganisation, Vlad Tenev, Robinhood’s chief executive, said in a message posted to the company’s blog

Robinhood Markets is slashing about 23% of its full-time staff as the flashy online brokerage continues to reel from a sharp slowdown in customer trading activity.

The job cuts mark the second round of layoffs this year at Robinhood, which in April reduced its staff by about 9%. Together, the two rounds have cut more than 1,000 jobs from the company.
