Pros

Zynga is a fun place to work for the right personality. It's not for people who like to be "warm and fuzzy" all the time. But if you have the right attitude and outlook, you will find it fun here. - Great benefits (some of the best packages I've seen, compared to many other companies I've worked for) - perks (food, haircuts, massages, nutritionist, acupuncture, etc...) - Fast paced environment lets you learn fast - Exciting and fun jobs and great responsibilities - Good bonus structure (as far as I can tell) and promotion potential - Mostly fun people

Cons

- Long work hours (12-14/day) - Still disorganized, but it's still considered a startup - micromanaging from the higher levels - Even though staffing is crucial, lots of issues with the recruiting department and HR - Sometimes work is a grind - Too short term focused, but gradually getting more strategic

Pros

- Working at a leader in the mobile gaming industry is a huge plus on your resume. Plus, having the opportunity to work in gaming is fun. - Collaborating with some of the most smartest, creative and innovative people in the gaming/tech space - It's a great opportunity to learn mobile gaming and hone your skillset. Zynga has a strong inclusive culture and it can be very welcoming initially. You should always be learning at every stage of your career and you can definitely do so at the company - You can connect with some really cool people

Cons

- Pay was slightly below average and not always congruent/1:1 to your skillset and experience - Limited opportunities and typical corporate rhetoric/structure holds the company back from the next levels of success. Once you realize that you have no one really advocating for you to move up and or take on more responsibilities, you have to be honest about your future at the company. - Some management/teammates are egoistical and passive aggressive in their behavior towards certain employees and clear favoritism is shown. - The relationship you have with your manager will make or break your career, which is frustrating. If you have a manager that will look out for you/advocacte your career, you'll do fine. If you don't, you're stuck
