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.

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.
