Pros

At the time the benefits were pretty good and the salary was nice. I met a lot of cool people working there at the time.

Cons

Working on well-established games is not fun. The code base is terrible and the amount of influence you will have as a programmer is 0. Working on a new game they made promises they couldn't keep regarding bonuses. Mislead us to believe our game would be a hit but it was actually the largest failure in Zynga history.

Pros

Great culture, supportive team environment, acceptable salary

Cons

VIP Account Management is meant to be an entry-level position (which does pay well), but can get very mundane and role tasks are repetitive; no major variety, or additional responsibilities
