Pendo: 90 jobs cut
Pendo, a Raleigh-based software analytics company, laid off 90 employees (10% of its workforce) in April 2026, with CEO Todd Olson explicitly attributing the cuts to rapid adoption of AI tools. The company has been 'refounding' itself over six months as clients implement more AI solutions, requiring workforce adjustments. Despite the layoffs, Olson emphasized this was not a reflection of business weakness but rather positioning for future opportunities in the AI-transformed landscape.
