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

Good work life balance most of the time. Well being was a focus for a while until recently. Good to work for a company with a focus on sports and being active.

Cons

Most recent leadership was terrible. There was no more estimation of work like you'd do with an agile development team. Leaders would give you a task and tell you when they wanted it done, no room for any questions or excuses.
