NIKE reviews

A lot depends on the specific team, but generally it’s a culture of self-serving individuals who care only about how much money they can make. There is a superficiality about things, and a lot of lip service. As a working mother I often felt overlooked and was often made to feel like my job should take priority over my children. Eventually I got tired of feeling like I worked with backstabbing robots, and missed working with humans who actually care about each other.

- When applying, be aware of the title inflation. From a responsibility and workload perspective a director at Nike is equivalent to a Sr. Manager in other large multinational corporations. (However, they will pay Director level.) - Outside hires tend to get "benched" for at least 1 year before being allowed to make significant contributions. If you are a senior manager and want to hit the ground running, Nike is not for you. - Things get done based on cultivating personal relations and talking things trough till all parties + their grandmothers agree (even if they functionally have nothing to do with an action). - There is a bit of a locker room frat culture. Hanging out and drinking is considered essential for building relations which are critical for (career) success. It is not how good you are at your job, it's about how well you are liked.
