Zynga: the whole "they treat their employees badly" thing is a lie

This is a great post and thanks for sharing it. While I've never worked at Zynga, my friends that work there tell me that the culture is work hard and get rewarded accordingly. A lot of people don't fit into that culture and it's okay. It self selects.

For the people that complained about the culture just for the 'big payday', then you missed the point all together.

Rewards don't justify overwork or poor work conditions.

I think that was the point of his comment. It's not about the payday, or the rewards. If you totally and completely enjoy what you do, then work conditions like these aren't poor. In fact, pretty much every game company, and many tech companies have the same work conditions. I don't understand why Zynga is the only one to get blamed for work conditions.
