Business outlook
Pros
The name on your resume and the exposure to a world class business. You will do things at Nike that you may have to wait 10+ years to do at other companies. Nike is the best in the world at what they do, who wouldn't want to be part of that. Finally, the company is one big family and most team members are incredibly proud of the work they do.
Cons
First, it is cult like. You eat-sleep-breathe Nike. Second, the culture around employee development tends to focus on what you suck at rather than what you are great at. You'll hear over and over again a line from a contreversial ad: "second place is the first loser." They really do treat you like that and thus development can be tough.
