Zynga’s Motto Is ‘Do Evil,’ Says Former Employee

Few companies have made out in the social gaming sphere like Zynga, with revenue thought to be in the half billion range. However, one former executive was surprised at what Zynga’s corporate philosophy was.

“I don’t f***ing want innovation,” the ex-employee recalls CEO Mark Pincus saying. “You’re not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers.”

“Zynga’s motto is ‘Do Evil,'” said the anonymous former Zynga executive. “I would venture to say it is one of the most evil places I’ve run into, from a culture perspective and in its business approach. I’ve tried my best to make sure that friends don’t let friends work at Zynga.”
