Cons
When it's great, it's amazing. When it's bad it destroys lives. NIKE is governed by an executive leadership team that has absolutely no idea what is happening on the ground due to the internal censorship. All very bright people but removed from NIKE's reality. Below them is a layer of VPs - my advice for anyone who wants to succeed at NIKE is to focus on making their VP like them, as opposed to simply doing an excellent job. It's an adult's popularity contest essentially. Most employees are miserable at NIKE and while they are investing millions in implementing work aimed at changing the culture, I (along with the many I know still there) can't see this happening. If you are lucky enough to have a good manager NIKE can be great but unfortunately they are few and far between. The sexism prevails but the male managers have become cleverer and are finding different channels to continue with their bad behaviors. NIKE should come with a warning sticker: NO EQUALITY, ANYWHERE.
