      Clueless upper management and chaotic environment, but still some talented employees left

      Pros

      There are some really smart and passionate individuals left at Zynga, but they are leaving and will soon if they haven't yet. I am learning a lot from them. Depending on the team you work for, there are opportunities to learn and be challenged. The food is good.

      Cons

      Low morale coupled with long hours at my studio. Some clueless upper management making cuts to solid performers and then replacing them with people from other teams, whom the rest of the studio has to train. Why bother? Some senior managers were promoted too quickly when Zynga was still a start-up, so you have/had 20-something year old GMs who don't know anything about management and make a ton of mistakes.

      I guess it's good unless you're spoilt

      Pros

      Employee benefits (free breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks & drinks; onsite gym; health insurance; ...) AND unlimited PTO (that's my favorite one!) Don't usually have to work long hours The dogs are fun (given you like them, of course)

      Cons

      The company is fairly disorganized at all levels. There's no way to plan your work because unexpected hi-priority tasks arrive all the time. Often nobody actually knows what the exact request is and how to do it. It sometimes seems hard to get your manager to actually listen to you, and even if (s)he does, it will likely have no practical effect in the end. It's very clear that they're trying to save money as much as they can. IT once told me they don't have headphones because they're too expensive. On another day, I got a Macbook Air charger for my Macbook Pro because - guess what - they're out of Pro chargers and new ones are too expensive. They just stopped providing free onsite massages and haircuts (the services are still available, but you need to pay). They cancelled a planned game day as well as a planned Christmas party. We got an invite to come to the church on Sunday instead...

      Rarely felt appreciated, often felt exploited

      Pros

      Your coworkers are super smart, talented, and motivated. Great perks, including great health insurance and free lunch and dinner. Your dog can chill with you at work, or, if you don't have a dog, you can probably borrow a coworker's!

      Cons

      While the perks are nice, it does not make up for the fact that, unless you are a developer or product manager, your salary may not even be competitive.
