As reported by Bloomberg, Pichai further asserted that in some cases, the tech giant will consolidate investments overlap and streamline processes. He also clarified that moving forward, Google will only focus on hiring ‘engineering, technical and other critical roles,” for the remainder of the year as well as in 2023.
