Pros

Catered lunches and a huge wall of free snacks and drinks make this a fat guy's dream. The company has great benefits, decent 401k matching, pays some bonuses, and generally seems to care about its employee perks. Some C-level guys are fantastic (such as Amit). Managers often do listen to what you have to say.

Cons

While a few of the C-level guys are great, most of the others are out of touch and play political games. The CEO is out of touch with what is going on right under his nose. They call themselves a gaming company, but the truth is nobody at the company can do more than copy someone else's game. Kabam relies on marketing and user acquisition to get its low quality games to climb the iOS and Android charts. None of the company's recent games have any semblance of actual good game design; just look at their poor retention metrics to see for yourself. If you want to be creative and make good games, stay away from Kabam. But if you want to play politics, be constantly at risk of losing your job every 8 months when the company re-orgs (again), and want to make clones of other games, THEN KABAM IS FOR YOU!
