Pros

Zynga was in the right place at the right time to benefit from the explosive growth and viral marketing of Facebook. They had spectacular success up until 2012 despite tedious, uninspired game designs.

Cons

The company exists to enrich the founder and his friends, management cannot be trusted because they are focused on their own needs, not the needs of rank and file employees. The company's rapid success attracted a bunch of phonies and posers who were only there for a quick payday. Massive brain drain due to the stock's collapse has robbed them of most of their talent. The company was built around Facebook gaming, now that mobile has eclipsed Facebook and Flash is pretty much dead, Zynga has been unable to transition to mobile as well as more nimble companies.

Pros

The people, the food, the gym and in general the perks.

Cons

Difficult to move up on the chain. Depending on project it may have good or terrible PMs. Life balance can be hard. I could keep on going but in my opinion, the most important one is how unstable it is, it went in two years from 3400 or so, to 1600 employees. With layoffs being done about once per year, and being at least 15% of the workforce.
