Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

High school environment of poorly trained software "engineers" who frequently lie to each other to cover up their lack of knowledge or steal other peoples ideas and take credit for them. The teams that havent been outsourced are also extremely egotistical just because management hasnt figured out how to get rid of them yet. Tons of people working in IT but work is incredibly slow due to excessively long meetings and phony scrum processes rather than actually doing work. The basic fundamentals of shipping software are not really present. Because there is really no other significant software employer in Portland, expect the abuse that goes on with that. Since they think if you quit you will starve.

Pros

Working at Nike was a great experience overall. The company culture is energetic, inclusive, and team-oriented. Management encourages employees to embody the Nike brand and provides opportunities for growth within retail and corporate roles. Employee discounts are excellent and make it easy to enjoy the products you sell. The work environment is fast-paced, especially during launches and holiday seasons, which keeps the job engaging. I also appreciated working alongside passionate teammates who genuinely cared about customer service and creating a positive shopping experience.

Cons

Retail schedules can be inconsistent and often include nights, weekends, and holidays. During peak periods, the store can become extremely busy, which can be stressful when balancing customer service expectations with operational tasks. Advancement opportunities can vary depending on store location and management structure.
