I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at NIKE in Mar 2016
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn out of the blue saying she was impressed with my background and expressed interest in setting up a technical screen. I responded and she was pretty quick in setting up a call. The call went well and she told me to expect to hear from the hiring manager in about a week with details on the next step. That was over 2 months ago. I checked in multiple times and at first I was assured that she would reach out to the hiring manager and that I would get a response by the end of the week and then never heard back. Eventually she just stopped responding to my emails all together. About a month I applied to a different Software Engineer position that I saw on LinkedIn posted by a different recruiter with a different Manager, and the exact same thing happened. I got the technical screen set up in a reasonable amount of time, the screen went well and I was assured that I would be contacted by a manager within a weeks time and then never heard back. Again I checked in multiple times and got to the point where the recruiter stopped responding to my emails. After 2 months of trying with 2 different recruiters for 2 different positions I have since given up. Both recruiters were very friendly and seemed interested in having me join the team but the recruitment process is very unprofessional and very unorganized
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic technical screening questions. Asked about my experiences and why I wanted to work at Nike
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at NIKE (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Got a campus interview for an internship after meeting the recruiters at a career fair. Got a positive feedback, politely emailed back asking after two weeks. The recruiter explained they are still finishing up their full time candidates, and promised to email back.
After two more weeks, I emailed back asking for a followup, turns out the recruiter left NIKE, and spoke with the interviewer (project manager at Nike). He apologized and referred me to another recruiter.
This is where it gets interesting. Three times out of the total 5 emails that I sent to her, she didn't reply in more than 3 days until I sent her another. Then finally after scheduled an phone call with her, she told me that the position I was interviewing for was filled and that she is going to gather current available intern positions and get back to me. That was more than a month ago, after that I just gave up.
Despite having great project managers as their interviewers, Nike's recruiting process is horrible. If their recruiters quit, all the candidates under that recruiter will probably be lost. Even when a recruiter is working full time, God knows what that recruiter is doing during his/her work hours.
What a waste of my time.
