Pros

Nike is a very forward thinking company. They try to do the right thing.

Cons

Despite their statements on "Pay for Performance", In my role as a manager, I was unable to adequately reward my direct reports for a job well done. It always felt like the company was growing at the executive level, but when it came down to hiring people to actually do the work, there was never any resources made available. There are so many layers of red tape that it is difficult to get anything done without an act of congress. When people would step-up and take initiative, they would be rewarded with little more than a pat on the back. When it came to Bonuses or Milestone Awards, those where give to those higher up the food chain. Offsite meetings were planned for upper management in tropical locations while travel requests by non-managers for relevant trade seminars were rejected.

Pros

1st class organization that is a leader in the athletic industry. Have the opportunity to meet some great people including the best athletes from all over the world. It's easy to take pride in the products you are manufacturing and selling. Discounted and free items and the free health clubs.

Cons

With so many employees, it makes it very difficult to get promoted. There are several large offices to compete with when looking for a promotion. Nike doesn't have to pay top dollar for employees because so many people will take less money to work for a proven leader in the industry.

Pros

The culture and people are fantastic, and it given the opportunity, it is a great company to work for. Although the pay is not the most competitive, it is a sacrifice for the lifestyle benefits.

Cons

The pay is not extremely competitive, and working in IT buildings is a large drop off from the pristine campus, if that is what you are interested in. The starting pay and work do not seem overly attractive. Nike seems like a great fit if you are established and have children, but not an exciting destination for a college IT grad.
