Pros
Nike hires really smart and driven people, and it allows selected people to gain experience in functional areas that are not always the best "resume fit".
Cons
Compensation is not very competitive, as Nike uses its brand as a primary recruiting tool. The company is basically separated into two camps: Brand and Non-Brand Operations. The brand side of the business focuses on innovation, elevation and diversity of thought (to align to our brand ambassadors and target consumers), whereas the operations, or non-brand, side of the business is pretty old school. Things are changing a bit, as competition has forced Nike to become more innovative in digital tech, manufacturing, and supply chain; however you won't get very far running a West Coast (spread) offense if the coaches only know how to run a Wishbone set.
