Pros

The projects you work on are of high quality, budgets are high, and the talent in the weeds you work side-by-side with are excellent at what they do each in their own way. Luxurious work lifestyle. Salary and benefits are very good. Diversity and gender equity is the best I've seen at any company - and they are doing the work. There are some great people within the toxic culture which gives hope to the environment changing in the future.

Cons

Ego. A very privileged workforce that lacks empathy for each other and is quick to judge without taking time to understand nor help each other succeed. Many unspoken internal rules that are opposite of the brand mission. Constant guessing of what leadership says vs what management expects. That leads to constant internal confusion. Very little organization, toxic optimism, no consistency, little to no onboarding, no support for success, poor management, very bad communication, too many meetings, terrible time & resource management, a culture that retaliates, all the isms, good ole' boys network even with so many female workers and a renewed focus on equity in leadership. Lots of high level good intentions, very little governance with management and little follow through so issues you've heard about from years ago persist and you see great people get passed by or pushed out based on petty attitudes from an old-school corporate way of managing. FTE workers have little to no work-life balance therefore expectations of ETW and contractors vary widely depending on the attitude towards them.

Pros

- The Company does offer great benefits and perks. - Exciting projects to work on - There are great people who care about the brand, the people and the work that we do.

Cons

- Massive re-orgs and layoffs every 12-18 months that impact 1000+ people. - Role and responsibility changes due to layoffs, forcing people into jobs that they do not want to do and changing the direction of their careers at Nike. - No career building regardless of what they promise. - Work load went from 65+ hours for 10 months to 30 hours for 2 months of the year. - Employees are nothing more than a number due to the size of the Company. - They have large amounts of ETW (Contract workers) that are business critical but are treated like second class citizens who spend years working as ETWs in hopes to get hired hired on as full time FTEs. - So many of the benefits and perks offered go unused since most people don't know what is available to them. - Moral bobs up and down like a yoyo throughout the year leaving large groups of people feeling unmotivated and unappreciated. - Some Managers are horrible at their jobs and should not be allowed to manage. - There are lot of BIG egos that clash on a regular basis making for an awkward work life.

Pros

You can say "I worked for Nike" when the burnout finally reaches you. Exposure to a slew of cool tools that have been poorly implemented and likely aren't well maintained. Use multiple cloud providers for no good reason.

Cons

Management is terrible, no upward mobility, no prospects for raises even in good financial times, high burnout, work is extremely siloed, pay doesn't meet the industry, CISO and all of the former crew of a credit card company (MC) are terrible.
