      Go in expecting to work hard, come out with many new skills

      Pros

      - For Product Managers, it's basically boot camp. Don't plan to stay long, but you will learn a ton while there - Very rigorous a comprehensive on decision making and analysis - Go in with expectations that you won't have much work/life balance and things will be okay - Operationally, very efficient, great infrastructure - At least back in 2011/2012 - you genuinely felt like all teams were staffed with some of the best in the world at what they do (and for those that weren't - they still aspired to be the best)

      Cons

      (Depending on studio, the environment would vary greatly) The Game Designer opinions have traditionally been steam rolled by stats/PM - hence the games generally lack innovation. The stats have a higher probability of moving a metric, however those optimisations rarely lead to a better experience in the long run

      Pros

      - Great perks - Awesome office and facilities - Generally fun-loving employees

      Cons

      - They cut back bonus in 2013 - It gets very political across the company. Lots of finger pointing, lack of accountability, and individuals or groups trying to hog credits when it's not due

      disrespectful and disappointing

      Pros

      Food Bring your dog to work

      Cons

      - Very little accountability across all the levels. Layer after layer of bullshitting leads to one after another horrible management decisions. Lack of self-awareness of the business (or forced to jack up the numbers). If you aim for building up your integrity and expertise, this is not where you want to start your career - Culture of disrespect creates a hostile atmosphere. If you can't handle personal attack and finger pointing, it's better for you to stay away from zynga - No transparency in performance review and promotion. They throw titles at people's face when people want to leave . Thus most people there with the word "Manager" "Director in their titles don't know how to develop and lead a team at all. Ironically, this mid-management team with inflated title will not hesitate to dress their team members down in front of crowds or behind close doors.
