What you’d expect from a large bureaucracy.

Pros

Nike provides lots of opportunities for career advancement and cross functional moves. PTO is generous and gets better with tenure.

Cons

Generally pays below market. Nike is known to rely on the attractiveness of its brand and employee discounts. This is not enough to attract and retain top talent. WHQ is over staffed in most departments.

Pros

Cool people. great campus. Most employees are knowledgeable and professional.

Cons

Good 'ol boy culture. reminds me of working for state government in regard to the fact that way too many people are involved in decisions that should be the prevue of the professional for whom is hired to make those decisions. Way too many people have to give the 'ok' to convert someone to a 'black badge' (FTE) when that person has outperformed everyone on the FTE staff. Thus reinforcing the good 'ol boy culture. It'll be the downfall.
