Business Outlook

Pros

It is a widely recognised, respected and well-regarded sports brand. There is opporunity to work with a diverse, international set of colleagues.

Cons

The development of the league seems to be quite cyclical - particularly internationally. It would also seem that the balance of senior / junior staff is quite skewed, with a lack of numbers at the more junior level.

Not quite the great place to work that one would think of when hearing the NBA brand name

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to work if you find yourself in the right department. Decent perks and the company looks great on any resume.

Cons

Very top heavy company, led by a large amount of employees who have been with the company for 10+ years. With so many executives in the company who are all still in the late 30's/early 40's age range, it makes it excessively hard for younger employees to rise. Also, there is widespread nepotism and favortism in the hiring and promotion practices, so if you are not "connected" to the right people, you will also have a tough time rising within the company no matter how hard you work or how good you might be at the work you perform.
