Pros

A dream place to work if you are an athlete. Cool people. Cool environment. Awesome products. Passion. You get to see the ahtletes in person. You get to test their new products. You get to work in an environment that matches your lifestyle. People are nice. Anyone will take the time to meet with you, no matter how high up they are. Lots of opportunity, but you must play your cards extremely carefully. Challenging products, a lot of oppurtuniy to really be creative. Amazing passion and stories a lot of employees bring to the table. An athlete's dream work place.

Cons

Benefits are not particularly strong. Outside of corporate HQ not sure how great the work environment is. I don't have that much bad to say. A college athlete will move up the chain 20x faster then somebody who is passion but not pro/semi pro in sports. Some cliques. It's only 5000+ people but its starting to feel like a bigger company. Sometimes pride runs to deep and stifles innovation. If you aren't an athlete or passionate about sports or health you will probably not move far or succeed in the compan. But that applies anywhere really. That's about it. .

Pros

Innovation, creativity, a willingness to try new things and stretch themselves to meet a goal or to be inventive. A very competitive environment but also very focused on teamwork. People get very focused and want to succeed. Lots of communication and connecting. Pretty good work/life balance most of the time. Working out and outdoor time are encouraged with great facilities.

Cons

Very competitive environment can be draining. Can be over intense at times. At times can be very much about "who you know" in order to get ahead... but not that bad. "A" type personalities abound which can be a good and a bad thing depending on your point of view. Pay is "just OK." Other companies pay a little more. Nike's stated goal is to be in the middle of the pack on pay. Pay scales and when you get raises, etc... is overly secretive.

Pros

The work and the people at Nike are diverse and interesting. Each day brings a new challenge. The work environment is awesome - beautiful grounds, great architecture. The company has on-site fitness facilities and daycare and other amenities too numerous to mention.

Cons

Being required to do more with less - primarily less and less headcount year after year. People are doing the jobs of 2-3 people. Expect burnout. The company is a continuous improvement environment, so if one does not like change, probably not a good fit.
