Pros

1. Employee discount 2. Networking 3. Creative freedom 4. Status 5. Campus

Cons

1. Contractors are not treated the same at FTE's, and it is blatant. You get looked down upon and treated pretty badly. You are clearly dispensable and everyone makes sure to remind you of that. 2. Salary - This is NIKE. You can pay your contractors more when you are such a huge company, and have incredibly talented contractors doing amazing work for you. The salaries can be offensive. 3. Management - I witnessed a manager in another department that shared my same building who had made multiple young women feel uncomfortable, cry, verbally abuse them and made them quit. I was told that this issue was taken to the VP who did nothing, and the company let this person stay in a management position after numerous complaints. The recruiting agency even had to pull contractors from this department due to complaints - yet the manager got PROMOTED! Disgraceful. 4. It is really hard to move around within the company and can take over a year of building a relationship even if you are over qualified. 5. There are always meetings to have meetings about things that can be sent in an email. Such a waste of time.

Pros

Strong Company, stable, good pay & working conditions. Great Perks & Benefits

Cons

Still very "runner-centric" path for success. If you are not athletic you may feel somewhat an "outsider"

Pros

Discounted product, access to great speaking events, state of the art training facilities, beautiful campus. Great projects if you can stay away from speeding trains/buses, and getting thrown underneath them.

Cons

Youth culture - if you're over 30, people try to act like they're 22. Only athletic white males rise to leadership. Very political - difficult personalities and unclear routes of mobility. Cutthroat, and seduces people with the lure of the brand and offer sub-market salaries. Work-life balance varies by team. Management can allow or deny flex-schedules and telecommuting, as they deem appropriate. Healthcare coverage average - even on premier plans, expect A LOT of co-pays and co-insurance. NIKE is self-insured as their employees are "generally" healthier than other companies. Remember, people under 30 generally don't get sick outside of ACL/sports-related injuries. Looks great on the resume but be prepared to have to fight tooth-and-nail to stay relevant. Not for the faint of heart or over 30 crowd.
