Pros

Works on great technologies as being a gaming company have to. Work-life balance is not an issue. With the new CEO company is moving to become a mature MNC. People were great but not now. Although hiring is going on which have attracted some great people to the company.

Cons

Rewards are not as per the mark. You might not get rewarded for your hardwork if you belong to some game whichi is not doing great.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free food, health benefits, decent pay depending on location.

Cons

If you do not work for the HQ, do not expect your voice to be recognized. You will be forever stuck in a loop where "US matters more", and none of your projects will ever be considered seriously. There is a LOT of red tape going on, HR despite being nice people are just puppets who hand out forms and don't know how to handle employees who haven't been brainwashed by Zynga's corporate speech. Career opportunities are inexistant unless you are a "yes" man. Never have I felt so useless than when I was working for Zynga.
