The company is a continuous improvement environment, so if one does not like change, probably not a good fit

Pros

The work and the people at Nike are diverse and interesting. Each day brings a new challenge. The work environment is awesome - beautiful grounds, great architecture. The company has on-site fitness facilities and daycare and other amenities too numerous to mention.

Cons

Being required to do more with less - primarily less and less headcount year after year. People are doing the jobs of 2-3 people. Expect burnout. The company is a continuous improvement environment, so if one does not like change, probably not a good fit.

Pros

The spirit of entrprenuership is all pervasive, it is a core competecy that is encouraged and good ideas can come from anywhere. You will be given every tool/form of support needed to excel at your job. Innovation in all areas of the company is encouraged. The fitness centers are world class! Nike lives for sport. A company not afraid to go with its gut, beleives in doing the right thing, and knows its consumer better than the competition. 4.5 day work weeks during the summer!

Cons

Nike will seek your saturation point. Work life balance becomes difficult to manage. Crony-ism exists. Not much diversity in senior leadership. Nike's a titanic sized effort that makes mid-level decisions democractically. The result is a need for consensus before action, potentially resulting in slow reaction times or indecision.
