Interview by HR/Recruiter
Panel Interview (4 people, all managers who would be interfacing with the engineer)
The HR recruiter I spoke to estimated that Nike gets 20-200 applications a day. Often, job postings are left up for only a few weeks, and even then, the recruiter is more likely to show the hiring manager applications from the first few days the position was open. If you know someone who works at Nike, they can look up the recruiter's name, but not the hiring manager's information. It is not necessarily helpful to know someone inside the company because of the sheer volume of the competition.
Good luck.

Nike Work Experiences

Leadership churn has been near-constant, making it hard to build trust in a consistent long-term vision or strategy. Culture has shifted significantly since the pre-pandemic days. With over half the team remote, most meetings now happen over Zoom rather than in person, which has eroded the collaborative, in-person energy the company used to be known for. There's a growing sense among employees that leadership has lost touch with the culture, values, and hands-on approach that originally built the company's success.
