Great people, poor management, poor environment, lacking creativity

Senior 3d artist

Business Outlook

Pros

You will meet a lot of people that are very talented. I was quite surprised when I showed up.

Cons

The management is terrible, never leaving room in the schedule to be creative. You will be forced to follow orders and work late nights. It feels like a factory instead of a creative environment.

An Ok company with lots of cash, poor technology, very bad managers and no strategy

Senior qa engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Food is amazing. Work will be recognized and lots of cash / promotions will follow if you work hard. Never felt underpaid here or ever thought about not getting that hike. Hikes are good. Gift cards are given generously for even small achievements. I have a very satisfied work life balance. May be because I am not in the game teams. Facilities do an awesome job here. Employees are regularly treated with great food on occasion of festivals and others.

Cons

Managers do not contribute at all. They just sit and spend their time playing politics.And most managers are either over qualified or totally under qualified for their jobs. While the former are good but less in number. The latter are worthless and do a real shoddy job here.

Fast Moving company, Like Finance Market, Bad for Engineers, Great for PMs

Senior software engineer

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast Culture - even though it is a big company, things move at a very fast pace. Data Driven Decisions - most of the decisions are taken based on internal data platform. Meritocracy - if you slog enough, they'll promote you and shower you with cash.

Cons

Zynga India is a outsource shop, cost saving strategy. Code quality is horrible, terrible. Very bad Engineering Culture in Game Teams. High attrition rate.
