Layoff history
In late March 2025, Palantir cut its centralized IT department from more than 200 people to fewer than 80, eliminating roughly 120 roles as it dissolved a traditional shared-services model. CIO Jim Siders said the restructuring was inspired by an MIT professor's argument to "abolish the IT department," treating it as a "wake-up call." Rather than maintaining a central team, Palantir redistributed IT functions into individual business units, using its own AI-powered Foundry platform to push technology closer to the teams that need it. Siders credited the shift with producing "faster decision-making, tighter feedback loops, and lower operational drag." The move came as the company was approaching $4 billion in annual revenue. No severance details were disclosed.
