Pros

Love the benefits and the salary. You learn a lot about the business quickly and a lot on how to build live products. It's a great way to start at a large company, especially since Zynga hires right out of college. If you're a go-getter, definitely a place to grow up your skills fast and get out of "entry" level. The new CEO is also proving to put in place business practices that I think will create stability in the company over all.

Cons

Zynga is VERY much a business (all companies are) and there is a lot of red tape when designing. Product Managers tend to own design at the end of the day and it can be disheartening. I minored in art, and the best thing I learned for a company like this is how to design within some parameter and make it amazing. It's an uphill struggle - but rewarding.

Promises unfulfilled.

Pros

Many smart people. Lots of tough problems. It was cool to work on world-class games that were part of pop culture.

Cons

Hard to keep faith in the leadership. Quarterly re-orgs ("pivots") sapped momentum. The company growth outpaced the management's ability to grow their own skills.

Cons

You will feel hopeless. Management is in chaos. It is just wasting money and human work.
