Pros
It is a good place for 3 kinds of people: you need industry and/or functional work experience, bullies, and longer term employees who want to hang out and vest. Cool office space. Zynga is a brand name that is great for your resume. With even <1 year of work experience you can learn a lot, re-brand yourself as a mobile professional in the entertainment industry, and gain digital/online experience. The culinary team is amazing with an incredible knack for keeping weekly happy hour events fun with new and creative themes. Assets: company-owned building and tons of cash in the bank. Will over-pay because they have a hard time recruiting talented people with so many other
Cons
Games are a reflection of the company culture: games are not fun and the games have no soul. Revolving door at all levels means that many work teams have no continuity. No compelling new products and markedly lower new game introduction with current leadership. Declining customer base. Many employees have very low productivity because they are learning on the job or they simply don't care and go with the flow . Addicted to "update" meetings largely for political reasons with no decisions, no real outcomes.
