SF-Based Startup Thriving, Hiring In Down Economy
The internet boom of 10 years ago burst with explosive force, leaving an industry and jobs in its wake. There's one place that still parties like its 1999, or at least the workplace is like that.
It's a San Francisco company that offers employees free lunch and dinner, allows pets, can't hire fast enough and it's the last place you'd look, especially if you're going alphabetically. It's called Zynga.
44-year-old CEO and Harvard Business School grad Mark Pincus is turning conventional wisdom on its head.
"How many jobs have you created in the last year?" CBS 5 asked. "About 330", Pincus said, as his dog Lola licked his head.
Many of those jobs pay six figure incomes and offer shares in the company. At the moment there are 90 additional openings, for flash developers, artists, engineers, to work on Zynga's stable of games for social media.
Zynga had $100 million in sales and is making a profit. It's not based solely on advertising but having people buy things in the virtual world.
Jobs available also include non technical ones, including Human Resources, Accounting, and Quality Assurance, among others. More here.
