Mobvoi cuts staff and pay and eliminates middle management, reducing headcount from nearly 400 to under 200
According to a Huxiu report, Mobvoi carried out an internal "revolution" in 2024-2025 to achieve profitability, cutting costs through business contraction, layoffs, salary reductions, and the elimination of middle-management positions. Its workforce fell from under 400 to under 200, and R&D staff dropped by about two-thirds. It also introduced an "organizational AI transformation" and a last-place elimination mechanism. Impact and handling: some employees expressed dissatisfaction with the elimination mechanism and pay cuts; no public reports of labor arbitration or administrative penalties were found. Status: media report. Entity involved: Mobvoi. Scope: internal organizational adjustment at Mobvoi.
