Business Outlook

Pros

Culture and campus are great as is overall commitment to employees as people. Good benegits and PTO accrual. There are some great perks along the way as well.

Cons

Salaries are generally somewhat below industry and achieving meaningful raises is difficult. The overall atmosphere is highly political to the point of exhaustion and moving up within the organization can be challenging if that is your goal.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent benefits package - Beautiful headquarters - Lots of brand energy/inspiration - Lots of nice extra perks like sample sales, exercise facilities, child care, etc

Cons

- HUGE dependency on networking & navigating the Nike matrix - Lots of job politics involved to get other teams to prioritize the work you need from them - Can be high stress & long hours during holidays/major release times - Often times not clear what counts as part of your job/have to wear extra "job hats" - Career advancement path not very clear and usually are on your own to figure out & find out about openings

Pros

Loved the culture and how open and friendly most Mgrs are. Met sooo many people, in fact, I have more connections while there (1.5yrs) compared to my previous employer (>3yrs). Cafeterias offer great food

Cons

Very 'white' dominated with minorities very few (count in one hand) Sr. Executive level and capped (what that diversity # is) in HQ as a whole. Unfortunately, most customers are from all over the world and inconsistent to their HQ campus vs. Retail. This is how Oregon is too. BTW - they have nice gyms but you need to pay a monthly fee.
