Report: Zynga's aggressive corporate culture bleeds talent, risks company future

A report from The New York Times suggests that the same aggressive corporate culture that has been at the root developer Zynga's success could be a serious liability for its future.

Wall Street Journal reports Zynga management have demanded "a small minority" of certain employees surrender some of its unvested shares or be fired.
