Pros

The pros of working at Nike in Beaverton are the access to world-class gyms, cafeterias, benefits, good location (if you live on the west side).

Cons

The office culture at Nike is all about climbing the ladder and stepping all over any one who gets in your way. You have to climb the ladder or step aside and not get involved.

Pros

Very flexible working hours, gym on campus which you can go to whenever you like. Friendly environment yet with a university campus feel.

Cons

Boys club rules. Who you know and your social abilities matter to a great degree - usually more than the quality of work. It's a sports company and that shows - games are played often. I just wish they would be more explicit about the rules.

Pros

Great physical work environment. Campus offers opportunity to work across functions and regions.

Cons

Nike has become too big to care about their employees. Managers are focused on the bottom line at the expense of employee development.
