All about the $$$$ not a game company

Pros

Benefits are off the hook! Great medical and dental. Many other benefits including pet insurance. Employee stock purchase plan. Open vacation policy.

Cons

If you want to make games, this is not the place. Great at buying other people's games but not coming up with original ideas. Current CEO is great at selling smoke and mirrors to investors at the cost of other people's careers. You are simply a number, not a person. There is a lot of wasteful spending. People are being laid off while corporate enjoys massages, brewery, personal trainers, and full 3 meals a day.

If you like CYA this is the right place

Pros

Data driven company, so you can learn a lot about the mechanics of free to play games. Has to pay well for a game company to attract and retain talent.

Cons

Too many layers of management - an engineer in my area is 8 steps from the CEO. However none of the managers will actually follow through on any strategy. No one is empowered to make decisions, but individuals and managers are held accountable for the decisions of executives. If you like an environment where CYA is your primary job, then Zynga is a good place to work.
