Pros
- Work/life balance, - unlimited time off, - extra Nike-specific days off, - focus on sport (if that’s your thing)
Cons
- Yes-man culture. Don’t ever complain or say everything negative if you want to get promoted. Nike is the best at everything (they think) - no feedback culture, unless it’s positive - Directors and sr. Directors are completely clueless about analytics and only care about it when it helps their own personal agenda - PM and PO are often people with no product experience (mostly coming from business) and no long term product vision - almost no focus on data science projects. Most of the “DS” in EHQ are former analysts with little coding knowledge - leadership likes to use big words like AI and ML in presentations but there is no short or long term plans. It’s just a red herring - promotions are mostly based on tenure and knowing the right people - surprisingly not that international. Most leaders (directors and up) are Dutch and many product teams are fully Indian or Dutch. - the analytics org is a mess. In 2 years at least 2 big changes have happened and still not all analytics teams belong to the same family. Good luck if you are in the wrong team!
