Not the best company to work for IMHO, but you never know. Maybe eventually Facebook will buy them. They are hiring for gaming development in Carlsbad. Carlsbad is turning out to be the choose for a lot of newer startups and small.companies.

BTW. Huawei is also hiring in San Diego. I know how some of you feel about that. But its an option. And don't worry, as long as you aren't Chinese, they will treat you OK. If you are Chinese and not Chinese American, they will treat you like shit. Its just how typical Asian companies work, where they treat people if their own kind worse than everyone else. Anyway..good luck...
The jobid for the zynga.position in Carlsbad is 72817172 . it was posted recently on Sept 10./so it looks relatively new. Good luck to you folks. I am sure you will find something if you need to. The rest of the tech market isn't looking that bad. Just a lot of the older companies. If I have anything else, I'll post them here. Hopefully of you guys guys will do the same thing for me if I am ever impacted in the future. You guys might want to get a jump before avago starts cutting brcm in San Diego. I have not heard when that will happen..but most likely in Dec or Jan.
