Too many people with egos work for this company.

Pros

It was a lot of fun working with a gaming company and communicating with the players.

Cons

The biggest issue is the lack of communication between the staff at Zynga. If you send an email, most often they don't even bother replying. My new manager always find time to return emails and expects us to confirm important information always - and the great communication makes for a great work environment. When you tell them what the problem is, based on the voices of hundreds of very angry people, they don't look for a solution to the problem. They instead make excuses...

Pros

Most creative people I have ever worked with - Good Food - Great perks - Fun place to work

Cons

- Inconsistency in level-up/promotions. I have seen people that merit their award or level up, but it is very much about who you know and a lot of brown nosing. - The test team never gets the merit they deserve, they lost their leadership and now are lead by someone that never plays a game and doesn't listen to his team, and doesn't understand gaming - Too many producers that think they rule the world - They keep making the same game over and over and launch with the same issues - Great food...expect to gain weight when you work there - HR - no consistency in hiring, salaries, promos and every raise or hire has to be approved at least 5 times. Lose good candidates because the approval is sitting on the HR heads desk - No 401K match - Too many execs or upper management that don't understand what is happening in the trenches

Pros

Great, high quality, highly motivated and straight-shooting folks The Zynga spirit drives the company to be successful and pushes through challenging times The constant quest on how to be more successful, make better games, increase value for our players Yes, the food is amazing

Cons

The outside reputation and perception of Zynga are at least one year behind the reality of the current culture, which I have found very positive.
