      horrendous place to work

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is good; food is sometimes good. The company stock is obviuosly doing well. You meet some very entrepreneurial people here.

      Cons

      Horrendous work culture; lots of backstabbing, bickering, testosterone driven petty politics going on in the company. People working here tend to rate 1-3 out of 10 on the maturity scale. The company does not select for socially developed peole AT ALL. People here are not happy and are clearly overworked

      No work life balance

      Producer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can bring your dog to work.

      Cons

      You can expect to work 12 to 15+ hours a day, Mon through Saturday. You get free meals, etc. but that's because they don't want you to leave the office. It's disorganized and chaotic, though they like to call it "moving at zynga speed". Game design is led by Product Managers (not game designers). Focus changes on a daily basis and you're expected to constantly change direction, yet keep to schedule - hence the working long hours, six days a week. There's is no work/life balance - everything revolves around the company. Quarterly bonuses were much lower than what was said in the interview. No vacation policy (they say you should take some when needed), yet people were denied vacation or asked to work while on vacation.
