Pros

the people are great. most are very welcoming and inclusive. they foster great culture but this depends on teams. people knew what they were doing and were not out to waste anyone’s time.

Cons

they are a business first and foremost, so the bottom line matters most over people and needs. there is some cult mindset going on where climbing the corporate ladder and playing the rat race is what earns you recognition. not only do you need to be a contributor, you need to show how you’re always going above and beyond to even get noticed. just doing your job, or what others call “the bare minimum” is not enough. it’s hard not to see hustle culture when it’s easily masked by benefits and “employee programs” that serve the company tax breaks if you can find a team or a manager that appreciates doing just your job, great. if not, i hope you enjoy working.

Pros

- Working at a leader in the mobile gaming industry is a huge plus on your resume. Plus, having the opportunity to work in gaming is fun. - Collaborating with some of the most smartest, creative and innovative people in the gaming/tech space - It's a great opportunity to learn mobile gaming and hone your skillset. Zynga has a strong inclusive culture and it can be very welcoming initially. You should always be learning at every stage of your career and you can definitely do so at the company - You can connect with some really cool people

Cons

- Pay was slightly below average and not always congruent/1:1 to your skillset and experience - Limited opportunities and typical corporate rhetoric/structure holds the company back from the next levels of success. Once you realize that you have no one really advocating for you to move up and or take on more responsibilities, you have to be honest about your future at the company. - Some management/teammates are egoistical and passive aggressive in their behavior towards certain employees and clear favoritism is shown. - The relationship you have with your manager will make or break your career, which is frustrating. If you have a manager that will look out for you/advocacte your career, you'll do fine. If you don't, you're stuck
