Digital Onboarding is working with more than 140 financial institution customers.

Instagram has cut 60 technical program manager positions, eliminating a layer of management at the company, according to a new report from The Information. The impacted employees have two months to apply for other jobs at the company. After the two-month period, their employment will be terminated if they are unable to secure a different role at the company. The changes mean that Instagram is going to sharpen its focus on supporting creators who are most likely to drive teen engagement on the platform. Despite the continued and ongoing regulatory pressure that Meta is facing, Instagram is still focused on teen engagement and retention.
