Overall Review (3 years of tenure) - Software Engineer Zynga Employee Review

There is very limited scope for learning and growth, as most teams are primarily in maintenance mode. Instead of working on impactful or innovative projects, employees are often left doing basic tasks with outdated or simple tech stacks, leading to zero real learning opportunities. Higher management, especially with US-based leaders, is heavily influenced by politics. Salary increments are minimal (mostly single-digit), and for the past three years, employees have consistently received only about 50–60% of their bonuses. Promotions are extremely difficult—leaders often promote themselves while overlooking their reportees. When employees raise concerns, managers respond with excuses, highlight minor mistakes, and disregard impactful contributions.
