Pros

Workplace is fun and exciting with plenty of perks! People are complaining about hours but then they want to go occupy some street when they are out of a job. Bottom line is if you work hard at Zynga you will be rewarded. If you slack and think no one is watching then you will learn the hard way that your just not cut out for the major league over here at Zynga!

Cons

I'd like to work on more games at once but I do enjoy the brainstorming events. I feel my voice can be heard at the events .
