Zynga Employee Reviews about "free food"

Pros

Great people really willing to help you learn, but also allow you to be a professional member of a team. Many opportunities for workshops and classes. Free food (and it's good- I can't believe people complain about this!) Dogs allowed in the office. Grounds themselves are very interesting and fun. Compensation is great, especially when many big companies don't even pay their interns.

Cons

There is some frustration with the choices of the higher ups, great projects getting canned and new ideas tending to get pushed back in favor of safe ones.

Pros

Great place to work. Free food and soft drinks. Your work directly reaches to Billions of Players.

Cons

Very bad at stock market.

Pros

- You got free lunch and dinner ( and food is okay too) - Perks and swags are abundannt, and if oyu like showing off your company then by all means wear it - Facility is very nice. you have a Gamer feel type of environment. There are also a lot of free services available (Last time i worked) - Benefits are okay

Cons

- Gets very busy and will have no time to enjoy the free amenities the company provides - It's really who you know and not what you know ( I got screwed by my pay and bonuses/raises. never got one on my whole 3 years working there even when I worked my butt off) - With the company being that big, its hard to really stand out and be recognized. You really need to get along with everyone. If you have one person that doesnt like you, that's one negative points for you.Again, It's all who you know and what you know.

Pros

very good food and office aera.

Cons

Need more Technical leadership in India

Pros

Great place to work. You get opportunities to learn cutting edge technologies. Free food and soft drinks. Your work directly reaches to Billions of Players.

Cons

None, will come here and review again if i see any.

Pros

- Free lunches and food - Fast paced enviroment - Good people

Cons

- Lots of company politics - Not very stable business model

Pros

free food and lots of parties

Cons

the parties are really to numb how uninteresting the work is. And the cliques in your team show at those parties. So kinda like high school. Among the game companies I've worked at, my coworkers and the environment at a whole is more close to high school. That's the impression I got to this date if I were to summarize.

Pros

- Incredibly low bureaucracy (to order a company paid-for phone and unlimited data service, I sent an email asking for the newest Galaxy model and in a week it showed up) - On premises IT was always available and super helpful - We could easily ask for and get any software we needed as developers - Management up to and including the CEO was very approachable and down to earth - Engineering centric culture - All the food you could imagine and more for free - Hammocks for naps - Quarterly team outing budgets of $100/person plus lots of team prizes (we went on a trip to Hawaii) - Smart and very friendly teammates - Very flexible vacation and WFH policies - merit based culture where if you got your work done, you were given freedom how to do it.

Cons

At the time, it felt like the company as a whole wasn't succeeding but with the recent success of CSR2 and the potential shift in direction from quantity to quality, this may be different now

Pros

Career growth- you will learn a lot as you are pushed outside of your comfort zone. You will work with some of the brightest people in the game and internet industries. You will be surrounded by entrepreneurs. Great perks and the hours are no longer unreasonable. 8-10 hours is average on most teams in most roles except the <10% who are crunching for a game release for a month or so. The food is fantastic and the new office is great.

Cons

It's hard work so it's not for everyone. Some teams have better managers than others. Company strategy could be communicated better. You will stick out and be pushed out if you are a low performer.

Pros

Free food and drinks. Latest technology (software licenses, laptops...) available.

Cons

Management is chaotic. There are senior engineers with skills similar to junior-level engineers in the industry.
