Pros

folks here breathe and live sports fun, a lot of activities generally friendly environment generous with leave days

Cons

not great healthcare benefits to move up, you need to navigate the org matrix well some folks in senior positions are actually quite inexperienced or not great managers and leaders and are probably more interested in their own promotions and are quite hard on the team.

A great way to experience a large multinational corporation with a real focus of brand experience and cultural identity.

Pros

I tell people that I could be doing my job anywhere, but the fact that I get to do it at Nike makes all the difference. the work culture and attention to keeping the brand experience relevant and central are second to none. There is a high amount of energy constantly flowing through the campus.This energy is coupled with a laid back atmosphere consisting of jeans and running shoes for work attire allowing for a sustainable work environment that keeps you going without burning you out too quickly. Even though there are a large amount of people working at the main campus it still feels like a small town in that you regularly see senior management walking about and still feel like you're in the thick of current Nike events and cultural milestones.

Cons

While the culture at Nike is well known for being vibrant and energetic it can be taken too far too often. the phrase "that's a great first step" is used regularly. The meaning behind it is that while you may be doing a great job there is always room for improvement. While the heart of this sentiment is genuine and productive it can breed a certain level of paranoia relating to one's self worth within the context of contribution to the company. You may never feel like you're doing well enough at your job and start to feel at risk of loosing it. With Nike's popularity, there's always someone willing to do you're job if you don't wan it or can't handle it. I have noticed several instances where the "there's always more to be done" mindset is taken too far and the work life balance that Nike advertises is thrown to one side.

Pros

Good Benefits for medical and dental. Free sneakers if you know the right people! A few good managers. Good travel benefits. Cafeteria has good food.

Cons

Lots of negatives. Lack of cultural sensitivity. Nike doesn't promote minorities and doesn't recognize holidays for all cultures. I have had to work on the holiest days which is difficult.
