Overview

• The permanent eliminations span four Sunnyvale locations on West California Avenue and involve 381 roles in Walmart’s Global Tech and corporate teams.
• These reductions are part of a nationwide effort to cut roughly 1,500 corporate positions across Walmart’s technology, e-commerce fulfillment and advertising units.
• Walmart plans to open new roles aligned with its digital transformation strategy and expects many impacted workers to apply for positions elsewhere within the company.
• Other Bay Area tech employers including Intel, Renesas and Boston Scientific have together announced over 500 job cuts this month, contributing to a net loss of 3,200 tech jobs in May.
• Despite the workforce cuts, Walmart recently signed a major Sunnyvale office lease, signaling continued investment in its Silicon Valley operations.
