Pros

- Exceptionally open culture - Great data infrastructure - Lots of smart people and a hip office make for a fun work environment - Good career growth and mobility

Cons

- Tough place to get groundbreaking products off ground - Hampered by early success in some ways as it's hard for new ideas to start from the ground up - Work/life balance can be difficult to achieve, but varies by group - Lots of "best practices" make the company slower than before

Pros

At the time the benefits were pretty good and the salary was nice. I met a lot of cool people working there at the time.

Cons

Working on well-established games is not fun. The code base is terrible and the amount of influence you will have as a programmer is 0. Working on a new game they made promises they couldn't keep regarding bonuses. Mislead us to believe our game would be a hit but it was actually the largest failure in Zynga history.
