Zynga India - synonym for Favoritism, Nepotism, Corruption

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Food. Good enough facilities. Amiable security staff (nothing else to write !!)

Cons

In Zynga India HR and ceratain bosses has the ultimate say against any reason & justification. haughty and ludicrous HR top. Top notch favoritism. Shameless mouth-blabbering wins over dedication and skill. Corruption in art-outsourcing. The manager who initiated large amount art-outsourcing to certain indian companies draws huge amounts from them as fringe-benefit, monthly. preposterous country manager. Basicaly The top bosses wants to pocket as much dollars as possible from USA, while all this lasts. This is a place for mouth-blabbers, smart-talkers and shameless butt-kissers. Not a place for skilled folks who consider there careers important.

Pros

Good food. Good compensation. There is nothing else good about Zynga.

Cons

The HR has control over everything that happens at Zynga. Performance does not matter Way too much office politics Career growth takes a backseat Contract employees are treated like crap The money and employees are underutilized. Its a sinking ship and nothing is being done to revive it. Very unorganised in general.

Pros

Food, Food, nothing much to mention about

Cons

>> Attitude of HR [Big heads] as Appraisal, Perks & Compensation is in their Hands. Never seen a company like this before. Its like supreme power given to Monkeys, their experience & Maturity level is way below their knees. Professionalism, Culture & Ethics is absolutely shitty. >> Only people who lick HR boots get good hikes & perks, all other dedicated employees are ignored. >> Not a place for prompt, disciplined, silent & smart workers. >> HR promises many things while offering, hardly keep such promises.
