At Nike, you own your own success!

Business Outlook

Pros

If you can dream it, influence it, and promote it......you CAN do it! People often put personal boundaries and limitations on themselves. What I have seen working at Nike is that oftentimes only you limit your potential for growth. At Nike you have the opportunity to flex, grow, and move around. In fact, its encouraged. The more you know about Nike's business the greater the likelihood that you will make better decisions in your given role.

Cons

Not all individuals are open and authentic.....yet. Nike is always on the move and not everyone embraces change easily. Some unfortunately fight hard not to change resulting in political plays and hallway conversations.

Pros

You learn the best practices from a very exigent company and that will open a lot of doors in the future. Nike is a non-stop learning master. The first year there will be the hardest year of you life. But at the end you will become a better professional, your understanding of business will be superior and you will be able to achieve your targets easily. You will never regret your time there. Nike is a performance company in all senses. Some people there are actors, the best actors to make buyers every season getting every product, every marketing plan and the direction Nike wants.

Cons

Kind of a sect. You must always be ready to play every game although you do not like it. There is always too much investment on politics. Always take care of having the right people as friends and measure your words otherwise you loose chances to grow. Always be possitive although you disapprove somehing. No criticism at all is approved. The lack of truthful people is always a disadvantage. You can not trust anybody due to the high level of internal competition. A huge matrix where you feel completly isolated if you have different ideas or just an opinion. Improvement is not really accepted easily.
