Pro German, for Germans - everyone else, you're on your own. - Anonymous employee adidas Employee Review

All decisions come from Germans, like the decisions or fake like you like them, or leave. In Europe that style works very well and the company prospers.

The remaining parts of the world are smaller markets and generally perform well with a European perspective.
