The most toxic work culture ever

Pros

They offer food thrice a day, and a functioning free pantry. Great merch for participating in activities

Cons

They will f_ck your happiness. They most toxic game team you can ever be part of of. Huge about out to Farmville Country Escape team here. They will fixate on the smallest of problems and make your life a living hell. Work life balance is a myth. Huge bias exists amongst the leads. Communication methods are aged, and language used to communicate is often derogatory. Every colleague of mine has cried in the washroom of Zynga. Each and every one. The team loses really great employees because of their lack of vision, lack of creativity and bias against GenZ workforce. Fake corporate team at its best.
