Review from HR Dept
The leadership team has changed the game - they've built a competitive business that innovates while making sure the Zynga experience stays awesome!
Review from HR Dept
Our leadership team is present and very transparent about our future and the decisions they are making to get us there! They genuinely care about their employees and our work life balance.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Communicating a clear vision for the company and a strategy for each location!
They need to stop being arrogant people and appreciate what employees actually do for the company. Many of us work very hard to keep things moving and only see rewards for the squeaky wheels or those who feed the egos
They need to compensate employees better in order to keep top people.
Consistency in strategy and communication, HR Program strategy and communication.
Review from HR Dept
Usually present for the all hands and no much else, too many managers with zero managing skills, managers are usually selected for years in the company but not actual experience managing teams.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Mix of base, bonus and stock
The stocks are the best part
Great benefits and growing equity!
Review from HR Dept
RSUs and competitive benefits package.
Our amazing culinary team & free food!
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
reward for performance and put your personal feelings aside
Low base salary compared to peers and fully vested on equity.
Review from HR Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
Real focus on delivery of value to business
The mix of people and the level of ownership
I get to work with smart people that I learn from with every interaction - they make me better!
Review from HR Dept
We have an energetic, hardworking team that is invested in each others' success.
We all have different specialties we bring to the table, making us very well rounded.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Better vocal communication instead of everyday emails.
Al lot of people with good intentions but not experience, most of the features are rushed and not well thought at all. Not too many people connecting the dots on the big picture.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
A real sense of caring
Accountability, freedom to drive, sharing of knowledge
We make games and that is fun!
Review from HR Dept
We generally have a positive, laid back culture where everyone is available to support a fellow team member.
Everyone seems to be working for the same goals and supports each other to get there. We are all very passionate about what we're doing so I think that creates a very positive environment!
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
it has become EA. If you are not from EA, your days are numbered. Anyone who has an opinion that is different than the leaders, should pack your bags
The studios are all different so each team and part of the business has its own vibe. Its great to have lots of different teams - but we could work harder on sharing between teams.
Review from HR Dept

Review from HR Dept
Great coworkers; doing work that I am passionate about; feeling welcome and making and impact.
My team and the people throughout the company
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Nothing specific is going wrong, but of course things can always be improved.
The company could be better at prioritizing. Also, when are we acting as one Zynga team/company/leadership group and when are we acting as individual studios with their own personality, goals and priorities.
