      Good people, bad culture.

      Pros

      Analytical skills are honed, especially for optimizing growth. People work hard and there is a no nonsense culture.

      Cons

      Long hours and on call weekends, team members change quickly because of churn, and company is very money-minded instead of product-minded.

      Pros

      Two meals were catered every day, and special care was taken to accommodate anyone's dietary restrictions. I worked in a room full of very experienced game developers from all walks of the industry, including a few legends from my childhood. For the most part, everyone was friendly, helpful, and invested in helping you succeed. Even when the whole team is stuck in the office because your update keeps failing QA at midnight, they come to you to see how they can help, rather than complaining. Zynga offers unlimited/untracked PTO for vacations and sick leave. Their official vacation policy was "You should probably take some." In an industry notorious for working developers to death, Zynga producers were known for pulling people aside and telling them to go away for a week or two for a vacation. And if a producer asks you to stay late to finish something, they'll sometimes offer you a day or two off in exchange. The whole office basically shuts down from before christmas through the new year.

      Cons

      Not a lot of original IP or creativity, in some aspects of their games. Also, the product managers are making game design decisions based solely on market statistics.
