      Category Manager Interview

      22 Mar 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at adidas (Portland, OR) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      I interviewed two separate times. 1. The first position I was screened by the recruiter, then interviewed with the hiring manager. I was then told I was not getting the position, but I was provided with feedback . The people I interviewed with were also very helpful after my interview, and gave me a referral for another CM role. I had a great experience this time. 2. The next interview experience was not great. I interviewed with a hiring manager, was told I was moving forward, then I was completely ghosted. I couldn't believe this was the same company since my 1st experience was so positive.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at adidas (Portland, OR) in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Went through recruiter screening and then since it was a shortened LTD role, I directly had final interview with hiring manager and director. They did not have a panel interview as the last round.

      Category Manager Interview

      8 Dec 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at adidas in June 2014

      Interview

      The entire process was quite slow it took around 6 weeks for 3-4 Interviews from HR to Marketing VP. There are usually case studies for marketing / merchandising roles that they ask you to go in-person to do a case for about two hours.
