I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at NIKE (Portland, OR) in Jun 2016
Interview
two phone calls, 1 first with the hiring manager of the position asking questions about where i see myself in 5 years, my management experience, my overlap with the group i was interviewing for, then a subsequent phone interview with HR asking behavioral/situational questions and minimum salary expected out of the role
interviewing on campus was all day, panel interview followed by campus tour, lunch with hiring manager, and then two 1 on 1 interviews
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's one way you've tried to influence a peer when you were not in a position of direct authority? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Why Nike? What are some strategies you employ when you're stressed out and overwhelmed? How do you respond to losing?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NIKE (Beaverton, OR) in Mar 2014
Interview
A surprisingly short interview process. I applied via internal referral and via their company website, and got contacted by the recruiter within a few days.
A very initial phone screen with the recruiter (maybe 10 minutes, the bulk of which was "Are you still interested in this job?") was the first step, followed by two panel interviews. I got the impression that the only reason for the second panel interview was that those people weren't available during the time slot of my first interview.
Nike is VERY big on panel interviews - expect a good deal of confusion around who's who, which person you should be directing your answer to, etc. I was asked to give a presentation on my project experience, and aside from this the interview was very standard behavioral questions (of the "Give an example of a time when ..." variety). Not too challenging, content-wise. Having been on the interviewer side since I started, I can say that Nike is often looking for cultural fit more than anything else (assuming, of course, that your experience broadly meets the position requirements)
After both panel interviews, I heard nothing from the recruiter for a week or two, after several emails and phone calls. I assumed I was out of the running, but then finally got a response and an offer after this period of silence. Almost every job description for Nike includes "tolerance for ambiguity" as a requirement, and this certainly holds true for the interview process.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NIKE (Beaverton, OR) in Aug 2011
Interview
The interview process consisted of a phone screen with an HR rep followed by a 1 hour panel interview with the hiring manager and peers. Questions consisted of behavioral and situation questions with each member of the panel asking questions. Overall the process was a fun interview the team I interviewed with were all very friendly.
