Pros

There are a ton of smart people, working with cutting edge technology. There is always something new to learn and can often translate that to your working life right away.

Cons

Things are a little turbulent after the IPO. The change to a public company has worn away some of the startup feel that the company once had.

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.

Pros

- great compensation and perks (free lunch/dinner, bonuses, gym, etc.) - work has effect on the culture at large given huge audience; feel like you have a voice - though it can vary by team, people are friendly and smart - making games is more enjoyable than most other types of software development - lots of exposure to new technologies / learn a lot

Cons

- can be long hours and weekends, esp. around game launches - can involve travel at times - stock is struggling, and aforementioned perks+compensation a bit dialed back as a result - job security can be an issue if a game is not successful (though that is less the case for engineers)
