      Pros

      Competitive salary if negotiated well, stocked kitchen and free lunch although these benefits have been reduced drastically in the recent few months and most others on the way out

      Cons

      Office politics, mediocre middle managers without competence staying put at Zynga for a few years driving the company down, work culture is terrible

      Tons of valuable experience, but a hard place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      early growth was big lots of new responsibilities to master all the time a lot of great people good benefits IPO'd

      Cons

      corruption, power struggles and politics was a constant IPO'd in a historically bad manner, screwed a lot of employees, really poor management up top to do that to so many. Disgusting. Company gutted and at a low since the IPO. Probably will stay around its current value for some time to come. Comeback doubtful.

      Low bureaucracy, tons of perks, and great people

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Incredibly low bureaucracy (to order a company paid-for phone and unlimited data service, I sent an email asking for the newest Galaxy model and in a week it showed up) - On premises IT was always available and super helpful - We could easily ask for and get any software we needed as developers - Management up to and including the CEO was very approachable and down to earth - Engineering centric culture - All the food you could imagine and more for free - Hammocks for naps - Quarterly team outing budgets of $100/person plus lots of team prizes (we went on a trip to Hawaii) - Smart and very friendly teammates - Very flexible vacation and WFH policies - merit based culture where if you got your work done, you were given freedom how to do it.

      Cons

      At the time, it felt like the company as a whole wasn't succeeding but with the recent success of CSR2 and the potential shift in direction from quantity to quality, this may be different now
