Thank you for your post. It is unfortunate to hear about your experience at Zynga, though I can assure you that the Company is and remains committed to ensuring that all employees feel safe and respected at work, and that they can also confidently rely on Zynga to listen to and address their workplace concerns when they arise. Harassment, discrimination, and general workplace toxicity have no place at Zynga, and we take reports of these issues very seriously. To this end, we would appreciate hearing more details about your experience so that we can further investigate and, if needed, take immediate action in response. We encourage you to provide more information (which can remain on an anonymous basis if you wish) via Zynga’s online platform at EthicsPoint - Take-Two Interactive Software https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/media/en/gui/47258/report.html

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
