Pros

Nike's business is strong and continues to grow. The campus in Oregon is beautiful and full of great amenities. There is a large technology organization, and some teams are building interesting solutions to solve very large scale problems. You get to see and attend events with sponsored athletes on campus. Summer Hours are nice, where the office closes at noon on Fridays. Pay is competitive for some technology professionals, but pay is not always equitable across the org.

Cons

Nike has been undergoing a reorg for over a year, and the roll out of those changes in Global Technology has been delayed again and again. Good engineers are leaving the company. There is a cloud of uncertainty due to the reorg, and many leaders won't make any decisions until it is done. New CDIO is pushing rapidly to outsource IT to his favorite vendors and send work to India and Poland. I don't think this will go well for Nike, which traditionally has been a face-to-face meeting company. It doesn't always write down requirements, so getting engineers across the world to do this work could go slower or cause quality issues. Promotions basically have been stalled for years. Backfills take forever to get approved, and even then sometimes they are denied or taken away from teams.

Pros

- Great pay - Smart people - Amazing campus with great perks

Cons

- Toxic work environment, see NYT story for just the tip of the iceberg - HR and ER function solely to protect executive leadership, they lead in toxic workplace culture - Success comes from making pretty PPTs and managing up to your leadership, not in serving your team - Change and innovation move very-very slowly

Pros

Good benefits, great gym, and I did enjoy having the chance to work with Mark Parker as CEO. I think he would be sad if he knew that his messages are not really put into action. He was very smart and talented, and treated everyone very well. Even his son who works on campus was a delight to work around.

Cons

The Equality and PRIDE campaigns are smoke and mirrors. Working in that environment is very behind. Gay employees are not treated well. Much like high school bullying. If you are a white man, or even more specifically British, White and Bald, you will love it !!!
