Q&A With Nike Employees
IDX: 25 TOT: 98
What do people at Nike think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Love the CEO but don't appreciate corporate speak used at many company all hands, especially those hosted by VPs under Mark Parker, although I've always appreciated the straight talk from Mark himself, very charismatic and inspiring leader that sets the tone for the entire organization.
He is what makes Nike great
How does Nike make decisions around promotions?
Unlikely in any engineering capacity -- better move on and take another position through demonstrated skill in the interview and networking processes!
Stay in shape and your chances improve!
How much and how often do raises happen at Nike?
Almost non-existent, cost of living raises are done every year or two I believe with a nice bonus each year, so your salary should match inflation, that's about it, so, plan accordingly for your next position!
Yearly
What should I wear for an interview at Nike?
Depends on the role, but I would wear Nike shoes, jeans and a button up or polo. If you have a statement pair of Nike sneakers that would be cool but not needed.
Dress professionally.
How long do the interviews usually take at Nike?
15-30min
totally varies according to the role and hiring manager
How do I do well in an interview at Nike?
Have examples of experiences. Describe issue, how you identified the issue, how you monitored the issue, how you lead and communicated to your team.
Show enthusiasm for the brand. Be "real" don't try to give generic responses to questions that you read on some top ten tips online. Just be authentic and provide real examples. If you don't have them, be up front about it. Culture fit at Nike is almost more important than skillset
What's one thing you wish you'd known before joining Nike?
How much running and physical fitness can impact your future
How much like a junior high it is
What's the pay like for Product roles at Nike?
Totally depends on the department
Bad but because of the non-compete that Nike forces everyone to sign, they get away with it. If you move to Oregon plan on leaving Oregon if you want to get paid more. And don’t plan to work in the industry
What's the vibe like in the Product dept at Nike? How many hours are you working?
I work way more hours than my peers. The vibe is rough. We keep hearing it’s temporary but it’s been a long time
Most work very few hours.
What's the Product team like at Nike?
Most are awesome
Not a team. A group of individuals that just happen to work for executives who make all the decisions but are so far removed from the consumer that the only way they know their consumer is filtered through the lens of the G-class Mercedes
How's the leadership on the Product team at Nike?
Middle leadership is awesome. Top leadership is less so.
Non existent
How do you feel about going to work at Nike everyday?
Usually pretty good.
There’s great potential but weak leadership. Makes it hard to get excited.
How challenged are you at Nike?
Not at all. Nike is being so thoroughly dominated in the marketplace by Vans and Adidas that we just come to work to collect a paycheck
It’s very challenging, but not necessarily technically
is it cool to drink when youre at work? or are people weird about it
Depends on the group.
Most are fine with it... occasionally theres an odd one out who is uncomfortable with the idea
What is the onboarding process like at Nike and how long does it last?
Onboarding Process? LOL - It's every man for himself. Hope you have a good manager!
What kind of relocation or moving stipends does Nike offer?
Nike has a VERY GOOD relocation program. They don't gross it up though, so be prepared for the tax man.
What is the hardest interview question Nike asks?
It's all situational/behavioral stuff like 'Tell me about a time you had to .....'
What's the Finance team like at Nike?
The CFO is very down to Earth. He's a good guy and he cares about the team. Some of his leaders can be difficult. The Treasurer/Chief Tax Officer is smart, but incredibly prickly - especially to her own team. She can be downright mean. The Chief Accounting Officer is terrific and genuinely caring. The Chief Auditor/Chief Risk Officer is a former consultant who spends money like a drunken sailor. The marketplace CFOs are pretty good.
How are the healthcare options at Nike?
Great health care benefits at Nike
How long does it take to hear back after applying to Nike?
It can take months to get a role filled at Nike. Just getting people scheduled for an interview can take 4-5 weeks. It's insanely inefficient.
How often do employees get raises at Nike?
Annually and some more frequently.
How hard is it to get promoted at Nike?
In some pockets of the organization, there is definite cronyism and promotion of 'friends' or 'people we like'. It's not as pervasive as it used to be, but it does continue to exist in some areas.
How does Nike handle HR issues?
HR issues are a mixed bag. The HR Business Partners are overworked and feckless. The Talent Acquisition team has ineffective tools for their work. There have been numerous payroll issues. It's a mess.
Does Nike have a volunteer program?
There are a lot of opportunities to volunteer for various causes at Nike.
What is the dress code at Nike?
Incredibly casual. It's a sneaker culture.
