    I have been working at Zynga full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Zynga offers good work life balance. The company values inclusion and diversity. Flexibility of work hours is given to employees making it easier for people living far away of juggling family to contribute. The physical work environment is pleasant. The studio has been stable and hasn't fired employees like other game companies around the world do. In theory, the values held by the organization are admirable. And depending on your manager, you have opportunities for growth.

    Cons

    Poor senior management. Career growth isn't well charted out. There is supposed to be transparency but there isn't. Unprofessional behaviour by senior staff. Pockets of sexism and preferential treatment.

    I have been working at Zynga full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Superb work environment. Great work-life balance. Awesome food. Brilliant new office with adjustable desks and other facilities.

    Cons

    Stunted/No career growth especially for artists/tech-artists/animators. Poor Art lead/Management who are mere puppets and don't take care of the employees under them. Over-revenue focused GMs do not promote or encourage artists as they are regarded as "good to have" and don't show direct revenue. You will have to join in a higher position because you will stagnate in the joining position for the rest of your life in Zynga. New joiners with lesser experience, lacking training and knowledge are still placed above existing over-qualified employees. Being loud and showing-off pays rather than quality work done on time.. Work quality in general is ambitious-less as most of the company's focus is to keep drowning games(transitioned from Zynga US) afloat for as long as sustainable.
