NBA Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – A very thorough interview process--by far the most rigorous one I underwent throughout my job hunt.

I began by submitting resume, cover letter and writing sample. I heard back from the company about three weeks after the deadline by email, informing me of an initial phone screen.

The first interview was a behavioral interview with an HR manager, with questions such as "Tell me about a time you struggled." I heard back 5 weeks later about a second interview.

Round 2 was more lax. It was conducted by two NBA team members: the head of HR and a current associate. They asked me questions about my resume, experience and interest in the NBA.

One week later I heard back from the NBA, inviting me for a final round in NYC. This one involved a 7-minute PowerPoint presentation explaining why one is an excellent candidate (delivered in front of a 8-10 person panel), a panel interview by these same people, a written case study and a quiz about the NBA. If you specified fluency in a language, they will conduct an interview in that language to test your proficiency. At the time I also had to complete and pass a background check.

Less than a week later I received a phone call with the final status notification. Though the process was intense, I enjoyed meeting many people at the company who were all nice and passionate about their work.

Interview Details – Phone Interview followed by two seperate in person interviews

Interview Details – Contacted by staffing company, had a phone interview with dept head a week later, had an on site interview weeks later, had a 3rd interviewed scheduled for the same day Sandy hit which was cancelled and eventually rescheduled 2 weeks later. Met with 3 CDs and was offered and accepted the position 2 weeks later. A little drawn out.

Negotiation Details – Very easy and standard.

Reason for Declining – Had better offer with significant more salary and career growth potential at another firm.

Negotiation Details – HR really didnt want to budge with salary. Eventually, they offered me $2k more than I asked and a $2,500 signing bonus.

Interview Details – The interviews were all conducted over the phone and they were very straight forward questions, mostly behavioral and "tell me about your resume" questions. The internship was the best work experience of my life. They really treat all their interns (about 40) like royalty.

Negotiation Details – Take the offer, it's a great work environment and awesome experience.

Interview Details – Applied on the NBA website. Received a call from a recruiter to setup a phone interview. The recruiting process has two phone interviews (one 1:1 and one group) and a final round interview on site. The recruiter seemed very nice and approachable.
