Zynga Project Manager interview questions

Applied through a business school career site posting. Recruiter contacted me and we were able to set up a call. I happened to be in SF the week of the call, so when that went well Zynga very quickly scheduled me to come and interview at HQ two days later. The company got back to me two weeks later to say no. The interview questions were largely geared toward consulting case questions, which is symptomatic of why Zynga is where it is.

For the initial screening call, you'll want to emphasize your interest in gaming and show some familiarity with Zynga games (I'd pick a mobile game and a web game like Farmville 2). Notably, they typically ask if you have any ideas for new features and how you would implement them, and they look to see that you have a basic understanding of which engagement metrics to look at when evaluating the success of games (DAU, MAU, retention etc.).
