Pros

- Fun people and fun culture. - Awesome coffee + culinary team. - very helpful HR (People OPs). One of the best HR/payroll teams I worked with. Extremely responsive, helpful and pro-active. Never had an issue. - Maternity benefits ( as of mid-2013) : you will get around 14-18 weeks maternity leave of which ~7 weeks would be 100% paid and rest would be ~66% paid. you can also get 6 additional weeks of unpaid leave under the state law. Most of this is supported by CA law. - Benefits: good medical/dental. RSUs instead of options (but the stock is not worth much right now).

Cons

- Take vacation anytime.. doesn't feel that open. since there is nothing mandated, some people feel guilty taking time off. - too many org changes. I worked for 4 different teams in one year. - has quarterly evaluations and priorities. This makes the company very short sighted. projects with highest priority one quarter are cared less the next. or might even be dumped. So all the work on the projects is a waste. - have a sense of unpredictability within the company and feel like management is confused about their goals. Don has been the CEO for not long, so have to see if he makes a difference. There have been a lot of ORG changes since he came as well, but not sure if its the last of them. - Benefits: NO 401K match

Pros

Great environment to work in They spoil their employees with perks & benefits Quarterly reviews and option for raise/bonus Great opportunities for leveling up.

Cons

People are hired into positions that they nothing about - this causes poor decisions to be made and people to lose their jobs. Too much red tape to go through to get anything done to improve process Too many egos and not enough open minded people

Pros

Zynga does provide good benefits and extras, and the teammates I have worked with have been great. The teams that I have worked with are solid and know their stuff. I rarely feel like I am asked to sacrifice my life outside of work for unnecessary overtime.

Cons

I think the upper management is sometimes a little disconnected from the industry standards. I also thin the idea of cost-of-living raises is sorely lacking.
