Pros

Good food- but cost cutting going on day by day No work - If you join as Producer GMs- are fit to be facility managers than product owners

Cons

-Politics, Politics, Politics.. GM/Producers of the game - FarmVille are hired from AIDMK party. they just know politics. Nobody have any idea about product. Zynga US management should seriously consider re structure management in India

Business Outlook

Pros

New CEO and crew know how to make great games CStaff are supportive of initiative

Cons

Feel bad for the incoming CEO and crew who are used to working with world class game developers. -Zynga is a place of bloated titles, people who failed up to VP status having never shipped a great game fill the company ranks. -Shallow CVs and Bloated Titles Tons of inexperienced GMs, Directors and Middle Mangers making game decisions wrecking the company yoy. A web company that makes games, does not treat them like entertainment Questionable accounting Operationally unsustainable Product Management culture overwhelmingly disrupts greatness

Pros

Free Lunch, and Dinner, gym membership, Stock, (if you were there from the begining) otherwise, forget it, you missed the boat!

Cons

Poor Leaders, very fast pace, no life outside of Zynga. Work many hours for nothing in return. Everyone is miserable there and just waiting to get rich. Its a total joke! Everyone is working to throw everyone under the bus! Its the strangest place I have ever worked. A bunch of psycos!
