If you are currently in school, and are within 2 years of graduating with either a bachelors, masters, or PhD degree, then you are eligible to apply for one of our Product Manager internships at Zynga. (The fine print: If you have already graduated from your college or university, unfortunately you are not eligible for an internship, but you are invited to apply for one of our Full-time New Grad positions... see our New Grad postings for those details!)

The goodies: Yes, our internships are paid! (We knew you were wondering!) And yes, we feed our interns just the same way we feed everyone else - with our gourmet lunches and dinners cooked in-house by our full-time culinary staff! In fact, our interns get a lot of the same perks that our full-timers get! Nothing like jumping right into the action for 12 weeks and being a full-fledged member of one of our studios and teams, huh?!
Zynga was founded in July 2007 with the vision of connecting the world through games. Since then we've dedicated ourselves to making fun and social games for people to play with their friends and became the largest developer of social games on the web in the process. Zynga games provide a platform for players to express themselves and form deep social connections with their friends. With a catalogue that ranges from casino to role playing games, our games can be found on most social networks, and the iPhone. Zynga is looking for people who thrive in a fast paced, entrepreneurial, technology-driven culture and are tenacious about achieving results. Our games are produced by our talented team of developers & designers with an audience of 13 million daily active users. The company has its own building in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco that has a high-energy buzz and yummy amenities (we provide lunch and dinner every day!). In June 2009 Zynga was listed in BusinessWeek's "Fifty Best Tech Startups." We also won a People's Choice Webby Award for one of our most popular games, Mafia Wars.
