Although interning at Nike was a great experience, it is not a place where I would like to begin my IT career.

It intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture and people are fantastic, and it given the opportunity, it is a great company to work for. Although the pay is not the most competitive, it is a sacrifice for the lifestyle benefits.

Cons

The pay is not extremely competitive, and working in IT buildings is a large drop off from the pristine campus, if that is what you are interested in. The starting pay and work do not seem overly attractive. Nike seems like a great fit if you are established and have children, but not an exciting destination for a college IT grad.

Nike is a great place to work if you know the right people

Senior administrative assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits, Campus if you can work at WHQ, Work out facilities, special events- award ceremonies, seeing top atheletes and celebrities on campus. Incredibly smart people in some areas. Many are very positive and energetic. The environment does allow for creativity, innovation and if you aren't in a 'business' group you can dress casually. Tennis shoes and a t-shirt. Five week (+) sabbatical at 10 years of service.

Cons

Promotions are only for those who are 'buddies'. Not based on competency. Often job postings already have a candidate in line. In some departments there is no 'downtime'.

It's cool to say I work at Nike... but it could be cooler.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and perks. Casual dress-code. Plently of places to play on-site. Easy to network if you're on the WHQ campus. There's a career to be made here if you're wanting, willing and able to make it.

Cons

Lesser-trained managers. Developing HR systems. Rewards often go to biggest heads/loudest voices not best minds/ideas.
