Thanks Zynga, it was fun!

Pros

Great benefits, great co-workers, work-life balance was definitely better than most tech companies (IMO), fun, vibrant, always changing work flow.

Cons

Management decisions that seemed half hazard or last minute, lack of clear goals or direction for the long haul, no "level up" or mentoring possibilities for anyone who is NOT an Engineer, volatile environment (fearful, worrisome, unsteady footing).

Pros

Salary was competitive overall. I had the opportunity to work with some very talented people

Cons

Company's products are mediocre; their catalogue is filled with too many tap grinders and slots style games.

Pros

free food flexible vacation policy - if you use it! some really smart engineers solving problems as scale Don is making decisions which are impacting the stock price in a positive way (atleast for now)

Cons

middle and top management highly inexperienced - which fail to motivate high performers, and end up losing them. Since IPO has been highly unstable, and too many re-orgs every quarter. Compensation might have been good, if stock value had gotten north of IPO price (by comparison other tech startups are trading at 100-150% above IPO) office politics & you need to know the right people/ be in the right team to get noticed for your performance - no longer a meritocracy. Too many layoffs in the past 6-8 months, and the upper management has failed to deliver a consistent future plan.
