I don't understand your comment. If you're cutting back on future features, not existing operations, you'd absolutely expect product and design to take a big hit, and then of course recruiting and HR because your employee counts are down and you're not hiring.

Data science tends to span both (future product dev and analysis of existing functionality), and data science can be particularly tricky to assign a value to, so not surprised there are also significant cuts there.

What I left out is that engineering is mostly not being cut.
