Pros

Discounts on Nike product, good benefits, WLB is pretty good most of the time, campus culture was amazing when we used to work in the office, on-campus gym and climbing facilities, "was" one of the best employers in Portland

Cons

Compensation for tech workers hasn't kept up with the market during COVID, CDIO and his friends want to convert Nike into a tech consumer rather than innovator, people are leaving in droves and no one is allowed to replace them except with cheaper global "talent", projects are no longer interesting or innovative but simple integrations with expensive turn key solutions, and a lot of incompetent people that got their jobs through nepotism or cronyism

Pros

This started as a summer job during COVID and extended for the next couple of years. I loved working here and in my experience had a good managers. I personally like Nike so the discount was a big perk!

Cons

The main con is pay. I was paid near minimum wage with little increase YOY. If you want to pursue corporate there are rotations that become available at the retail level, but very competitive.
