"Got stuck with a shitty manager. Asked him biweekly what I could do to improve, did not slack on my work, but he did not give me any input or tips whatsoever until evaluation day when he slapped me with a "Good" evaluation. Rest of the office was alright and I was sorry I couldn't enjoy the experience more."

"Perks are okay, they're becoming the norm for a software company. People are generally incompetent at what they do. Plenty of internal politics and "not my problem" attitude. Management is uninspiring, a lot promised, little delivered and a lot of wasted effort. Job description is inaccurate, you will be doing manual testing. All. Day. Long."

"A decent job with amazing perks. If the job title and description suggested that you might be writing any code (for test automation), forget about it."

"Toronto's office is the hub of Zynga's Mobile game development, the perks seem endless for full time employees but students get free catered lunch 3 days a week, free lunch from orderit.ca the other two days. Unlimited snacks, drinks, breakfast, coffee, happy hour on friday (free drinks), flexible hours, no dress code, the chance to work from home. The Toronto office was originally FiveMobile, a competitor of XtremeLabs that was bought out by Zynga. The office is very open, people are friendly and helpful and learning from the co-op term is most emphasized. The environment is far from poisonous as read from the comment about SF's office, the Toronto office operates on it's own beat and is a role model for other Zynga office's to follow."
