Pros

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.

Very talented workers - but very poor management

Pros

I met some very talented, passionate folks that deeply cared about making good games. Get on the right team with the right manager and the right project - you could have a very good experience. And if you really care about little perks like free soda and LOTS of t-shirts, you'll find that too.

Cons

The management is poor. What leadership says to the company often doesn't reflect what actually happens. They don't know when to kill a bad game pre-launch nor how to pick fresh ideas to enliven the haggard portfolio. They reward people for doing very short-term-gain things that hurt the games (and therefore, the company) in the long run. And worst of all: management never grasped the core need to make fun games, and make fun the priority. All game design decisions were trumped by the financial, and many good games were strangled to death by the management-mandated addition of "social features" and other revenue-based mechanics.
