2K scores A on the Alion truth index (A is best, E worst), measured over 26 open roles re-checked against its own hiring board: 0% look like ghost listings, 27% have gone stale and 0% are the same role posted again. Its roles close in a median of 83 days. It measures how much of what this employer publishes turns into a real, finite search - not the employer as a workplace. How the index is computed
Overview
2K is an American video game publisher founded in 2005 as a label of Take-Two Interactive, and it holds the sports and strategy franchises that sit alongside Rockstar's open-world titles in the group. Its portfolio includes the NBA 2K basketball series, the Civilization strategy franchise, Borderlands, BioShock, WWE 2K and PGA Tour 2K, developed across studios including Visual Concepts, Firaxis, Gearbox and Cloud Chamber. Headquartered in Novato, California, it depends heavily on annual sports releases and their in-game economies, which now generate more revenue than the games themselves.

Products
BioShock
The narrative shooter series held by Cloud Chamber, a studio created specifically to build the next instalment. It is the label's most critically regarded property and its longest-running development effort.
2k.com
WWE 2K
The annual wrestling franchise built on a licence from WWE. Licensed sports and entertainment properties carry guaranteed payments regardless of how the game performs, which raises the stakes on each release.
2k.com
Borderlands
The looter-shooter series developed by Gearbox, whose studio the group acquired in 2024. Owning the developer rather than licensing removes the negotiation that previously accompanied every sequel and every spin-off.
2k.com
Civilization
The turn-based strategy series developed by Firaxis and running since 1991. It has an unusually durable audience that returns across editions, which makes it far less dependent on launch timing than the sports titles.
2k.com
NBA 2K
The annual basketball simulation that is the label's largest franchise by revenue. Recurrent spending inside its virtual currency economy now exceeds the income from selling the game, which is why the sports licence matters so much.
