Business Outlook

Pros

- Good work life balance - Some genuinely nice people still there - Nike discounts

Cons

- Management has no strategic or technical understanding of the products and are unqualified for their role creating a chaotic and non-productive work environment - Promotions are completely based on popularity and favoritism. Years of experience or delivery means nothing on this team. - Attrition is through the roof. They lost almost all their actual talent and morale is low for those remaining. - No accountability. If someone is doing a poor job they are simply moved to another team or even promoted due to personal favoritism. - You won't learn anything to progress your career or knowledge.

Pros

Globally recognized brand, OK pay, excellent benefits. Generally decent co-workers. Plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies and improve your marketability. Company has plenty of money to spend on any tool or resource needed.

Cons

Due to the sheer amount of people that work in its IT department, there is a zero collaboration between different teams. New code is developed (often poorly) and thrown over the wall for the "ops guys to deal with". Also, the director of my department turned out to be extremely disrespectful to all of the hard work we put in, and often changed course without even bothering to tell us.

Pros

Working at Nike gave me a chance to grow as a person and an employee. For me, it was an intense work environment but I really enjoyed my job so that helped deal with the day to day intensity. Most of the people that I worked with were great. The team environment feels more like a family than just coworkers. Definitely high energy and fun work place that values its employees and expects the best from them.

Cons

Nike seems to have a just do it way of doing business. There are no excuses. This attitude doesn't always make sense when it comes to training. Nike doesn't always make sure that people are trained and prepared for their next opportunity. They do not on board people well at all. It's sink or swim. They do not pay well.
