What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

They are engaged and genuine.

Decent humans how respect the impacts of their choices on their employees

The best thing about the Sports leadership is that they listen to you. Daily they demonstrate the companies' values and help to instill that into the people on their team. They help push you towards your goals and I am fortunate to be a part of not only the organization but the NBA Sports team.

Review from Product Dept

Listens to the people on the ground.

Down to Earth, great speakers, and some are transformative

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

Listening and responding to people's concerns

Less talk more action. We hear the same thing over and over but dont see much change especially around headcount and retaining talent. Burnout culture is real

Review from Admin Dept

Current leadership is tone deaf when it comes to common issues and likes to cover these up with pizza parties and free cupcakes.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Good healthcare and pension, lots of money going around for training and various workshops so it feels like the company is investing in its employees

They give private health insurance at my level.

It's very comprehensive. Insurance, dental, pensions, even support for charitable donations and volunteer work.

The best part about my compensation package is the benefits; Sports Reimbursement, Paid Holidays, 2 Week Paid Christmas Holiday, Internal Cafe Stipend, Free Video Games, Hard Work Incentives, Medical, Dental, Vision, Health Advocate, EAP, Health Saving Account, Short/Long Term Disability...and more.

Review from Product Dept

Pay! Days off! Big Parties...constantly!

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

I lost money due to the Zanga purchase. Im young and starting out new with stocks and sad to see my money disappear overnight.

The company needs to research the current market. They need to match it or exceed it. If you invest in your people now, you will not have to worry about losing them later.

Other companies seem to pay more for the same role compared to 2K.

I think all of the artists should be paid 5k-10k more

Review from Design Dept

Give options to contract / temp employees to negotiate salary and leave feedback to their managers

Review from Design Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

One of the best things about the NBA Sports Team is that everyone looks out for each other. People are quick to help you if you need it and are there for you when life happens. You are able to come as you are, and the team treats you the way they want to be treated. They are efficient and effective.

Review from Product Dept

Collaborate well and always look forward to seeing each other

Care a lot about eachother

The people on my team are the best part of working here.

My team work hard and achieve a lot - it is awesome to be part of a productive team!

Review from HR Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

People at Madrid are young and toxic. They need to improve their attitude towards their work, be more professional.

Review from Design Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Encouragement in all forms : training, educational resources and also one on one meetings.

That 90% of the team love video games and are passionate about making quality products for our customers.

Review from HR Dept

inclusiveness, international collaboration are few of the best qualities.

Everyone is nice and cheerful.... Except we work from home so I'm alone

Review from Design Dept

People care. They will go out of their way to help one another, even if they just met you. It's a very positive environment.

Review from Marketing Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

The company needs to give a shit about its employees

Management is too powerful and shouldn't decide about things they have less knowledge about. More transparency where the team is going and sharing what people do would bring people more together. Right now, it is too focused on how it was done in the past, instead of how do we develop?

What did you like most about the interview process?

Interviews Reviews

I loved that I got to demonstrate my actual skills instead of being judged solely on previous job experience

They really took the time to get to know you

Got to meet a lot of team and get a true feel for the company culture.

Review from HR Dept

Recruiter was very friendly, and felt genuinely sincere.

Quick and to the point, very causal

Review from Design Dept

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

Interviews Reviews

It was an unfortunate process due to the extraneous internal factors, most likely it would have been an easier process for others.

Review from Engineering Dept

Less steps, 6 steps is a little too much, 3 - 4 is perfect.

What makes you most happy at work?

Outlook Reviews

Feeling like I can talk to anyone, like if the CEO walked in I could chat to him and it would be considered normal. I really like the flat structure.

There's a lot for me to learn from it and it's an environment that supports learning/ skills development.

The work that I do and the people I work with.

Review from Product Dept

My team, supervisors and management.

My coworkers are the best thing to happen to me.

More modernization. I feel that the company can sometimes remain stuck in old ways.
